[PATCH 18/25] powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catching

From: Jason Wessel
Date: Tue May 18 2010 - 21:45:59 EST


The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in
program_check_exception().

The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is
called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb
needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint
exception.

[benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: move debugger_bpt instead of #ifdef]
