Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Kgdb uses brki r16, 0x18 instruction to call
low level _debug_exception function which save
current state to pt_regs and call microblaze_kgdb_break
function. _debug_exception should be called only from
the kernel space. User space calling is not supported
because user application debugging uses different handling.
pt_regs_to_gdb_regs loads additional special registers
which can't be changed
* Enable KGDB in Kconfig
* Remove ancient not-tested KGDB support
* Remove ancient _debug_exception code from entry.S
Only MMU KGDB support is supported.

This is the first patch which add support for
user application debugging through brki rX, 0x18 vector.
This patch has side effect which also remove security issue
to use brki rX, 0x18 to freeze kernel.
Support for old gdb support via priviledged exception
(brk r0, r0) is still there. It will be remove in future.

Syscall can be called only from userspace that's why
we don't need to check which space kernel come from.
Kernel syscall calling is not check and shouldn't come
throught this part of code.

We are not working with values from MSR that's why
we can discard it and use r11 for different purpose without
saving/restoring.

Remove set_vms because UMS is cleared and VMS is already setup.
Optimize function calling which save one additional instruction.
Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>
VMS is always setup because VM mode was before
exception/syscall/interrupt. Kernel continues in kernel mode
that's why we have to clear UMS bit if kernel comes from
user space.

PT_MODE stores information if kernel comes from user
or kernel space. If come from user space, PT_MODE
contains 0. If come from kernel store, PT_MODE contains
non zero value. We don't need to save value 1. I am using
r1 register which contains non zero value.
This change save one additional instruction.

Keep together all arguments for send_sig function.
Move returning address to delay slot which is executed.
Remove additional send_sig loading. I am using IMM part of
rtbd instruction with r0.
old solution:
addik r11, r0, send_sig
rtbd r11, 0
nop
new solution:
rtbd r0, send_sig
nop
There is one instruction saving.

It is necessary to setup BIP and EE and clear EIP
only for unaligned exception handler. The rest of
hw exception handlers don't require it.
HW exception occured and we are not in virtual mode.
That's why we can do operations protected by EIP.
Interrupt, next hw exception or syscall can't occur.
EIP is cleared by rted.
This change speedup page_fault hw exception handler
which is critical path.
There is also necessary to save R11 content before
flag setup for unaligned exception.

SAVE_STATE macro is used in hw exceptions high level handling
functions. Hw exception doesn't disable IRQ that's why we don't
need to reenable it.

We don't need to protect by BIP whole ret_from_trap/ret_from_exc code.
Only restoring from user/hw exception should be covered.
If BIP is setup, IRQ can't occur.

There is a way howto remove Kernel Mode variable. It is easier
to parse UMS bit in MSR to find out if I come from kernel or user
space. Loading MSR content should be in one cycle and loading
PER_CPU variable depends on memory state.

Save and restore R3/R4 registers in macros. This change
help to cleanup entry.S.
In ret_from_trap function we are saving returning value from
syscall to pt_regs on stack that's why we don't need to save and
restore these values before kernel functions (schedule, do_signal).

_start symbol stores physical address where kernel is.
Gdb uses this symbol for their purpose that's why
we have to rename it.

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.
Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.
Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate
