Current versions of gdb do not interoperate cleanly with kgdb on arm64
systems because gdb and kgdb do not use the same register description.
This patch modifies kgdb to work with recent releases of gdb (>= 7.8.1).
Compatibility with gdb (after the patch is applied) is as follows:
gdb-7.6 and earlier Ok
gdb-7.7 series Works if user provides custom target description
gdb-7.8(.0) Works if user provides custom target description
gdb-7.8.1 and later Ok
When commit 44679a4f14 ("arm64: KGDB: Add step debugging support") was
introduced it was paired with a gdb patch that made an incompatible
change to the gdbserver protocol. This patch was eventually merged into
the gdb sources:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=a4d9ba85ec5597a6a556afe26b712e878374b9dd
The change to the protocol was mostly made to simplify big-endian support
inside the kernel gdb stub. Unfortunately the gdb project released
gdb-7.7.x and gdb-7.8.0 before the protocol incompatibility was identified
and reversed:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=bdc144174bcb11e808b4e73089b850cf9620a7ee
This leaves us in a position where kgdb still uses the no-longer-used
protocol; gdb-7.8.1, which restored the original behaviour, was
released on 2014-10-29.
I don't believe it is possible to detect/correct the protocol
incompatiblity which means the kernel must take a view about which
version of the gdb remote protocol is "correct". This patch takes the
view that the original/current version of the protocol is correct
and that version found in gdb-7.7.x and gdb-7.8.0 is anomalous.

The way the KGDB_DYN_BRK_INS_BYTEx macros are declared is more
complex than it needs to be. Also, the macros are only used in one
place, which is arch-specific anyway.
This patch refactors the macros to simplify them, and exposes an
argument so that we can have a single macro instead of 4.
As a side effect, this patch also fixes some anomalous spellings of
"KGDB".
These changes alter the compile types of some integer constants
that are harmless but trigger truncation warnings in gcc when
assigning to 32-bit variables. This patch adds an explicit cast
for the affected cases.

The naming of DBG_ESR_VAL_BRK is inconsistent with the way other
similar macros are named.
This patch makes the naming more consistent, and appends "64"
as a reminder that this ESR pattern only matches from AArch64
state.

Some of the KGDB macros used for generating the BRK instructions had the
wrong spelling for DBG and KGDB abbreviations.

Add KGDB software step debugging support for EL1 debug
in AArch64 mode.
KGDB registers step debug handler with debug monitor.
On receiving 'step' command from GDB tool, target enables
software step debugging and step address is updated in ELR.
Software Step debugging is disabled when 'continue' command
is received
