This series was originally part of the series ("serial: Finish kgdb on
qcom_geni; fix many lockdep splats w/ kgdb") but it made sense to
split it up.

It's believed that dropping into kgdb should be more robust once these
patches are applied.

Changes in v5:
- Add a comment about get_irq_regs().
- get_cpu() => raw_smp_processor_id() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().
- for_each_cpu() => for_each_online_cpu()
- Error check smp_call_function_single_async()

Changes in v4:
- Removed smp_mb() calls.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo and .task for the master.
- Remove clearing out in kdb_stub for offline CPUs; it's now redundant.

Changes in v3:
- No separate init call.
- Don't round up the CPU that is doing the rounding up.
- Add "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" to match the rest of the file.
- Updated desc saying we don't solve the "failed to roundup" case.
- Document the ignored parameter.
- Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before new for v3.
- Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up new for v3.

Changes in v2:
- Removing irq flags separated from fixing lockdep splat.
- Don't use smp_call_function (Daniel).

Douglas Anderson (4):
  kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup
  kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus() for arches who used smp_call_function()
  kgdb: Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before
  kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up

The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

> the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is
> local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus().

Nobody used those flags.  Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them.  So we can definitely remove the flags.

When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat
on my system.  Specifically it hit:
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)

Specifically it looked like this:
  sysrq: SysRq : DEBUG
  ------------[ cut here ]------------

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().  If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.

Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs.  Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.

In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.

Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants.  I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to.  Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
  get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
  kgdb_nmicallback()

NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before.  We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock.  That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.
