When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost
depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip. When gdb
initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any
character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections.
Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could
lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur
on the initial connect.

* When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow

The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that
took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming
from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause
problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor
than had taken the lock.
The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with
because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will
remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception
context.

For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and
various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel
debugger. The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and
resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case
problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system
using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly.
The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows:
* The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in
order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have
taken a debug exception.
* The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[].
* The master cpu issues the round up cpus message.
* Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own
element in cpu_in_kgdb[].
* Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0.
* The master cpu debugs the system.
The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces
them with 2 single counters. One counter is used to count the number
of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an
exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have
entered as slave cpus.
The new entry logic works as follows:
* One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments
the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called
dbg_master_lock.
* The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu.
* The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock.
* The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus.
* Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception()
will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb. Each slave will now spin
try_locking on dbg_slave_lock.
* The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb
to be equal to the sum of the online cpus.
* The master cpu debugs the system.
In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding
dbg_master_lock. Stress testing has not turned up any further
entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design. The prior
locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic
(in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to
the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive
faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch
specific hw breakpoint operations.
This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug()
earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core.
The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be:
master_debug_cpu slave_debug_cpu

Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb. The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses. The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.
Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.
This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register. The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the

The gdb debugger understands how to parse short versions of the thread
reference string as long as the bytes are paired in sets of two
characters. The kgdb implementation was always sending 8 leading
zeros which could be omitted, and further optimized in the case of
non-negative thread numbers. The negative numbers are used to
reference a specific cpu in the case of kgdb.

The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
kernel allocators are initialized.
This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
the kernel has been further initialized.
The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into
the debug core's version of the late init which is called
dbg_late_init();
