Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't. The list includes:
(*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
syscalls and some mount syscalls.
(*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.
(*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

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.

VMS is always setup because VM mode was before

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

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.

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

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

sys_clone syscall ignored args which this patch mapped to args
which are passing from glibc.
Here is the origin problem description.
"I ran the static libgcc tests (very few of them are there, they are
mostly dynamically linked) and some of them fail with an assertion in
fork() system call (tid != pid), I looked at the microblaze/entry.S
file and it looks suspicious (ignores arguments 3-5)"
Arg mapping should be:
glibc ARCH_FORK(...) -> do_fork(...)
r5 -> r5 (clone_flags)
r6 -> r6 (stack_start, use parent->stack if NULL)
pt_regs -> r7 (pt_regs)
r7 -> r8 (stack_size)
r8 -> r9 (parent_tidptr)
r9 -> r10 (child_tidptr)

copy_to_user_page macro is used in mm/memory.c:access_process_vm
function. This function is called from ptrace code (POKETEXT, POKEDATA)
which write data to memory. Microblaze handle physical address for
caches that's why there is virt_to_phys conversion.
There is potential one location which can caused the problem on WB system.
The important is take a look at write PTRACEs requests
(POKE/TEXT, DATA, USR).
Note:
Majority of Microblaze PTRACE code is moved to generic location
in newer kernel version that's why this solution should work on
the newest kernel version too.
linux/io.h is in cacheflush because of mm/nommu.c
Tested on a WB system - hello world debugging.

This list used was by only two platforms with all other platforms defining an
own list of valid bus id's to pass to of_platform_bus_probe. This patch:
i) copies the default list to the two platforms that depended on it (powerpc)
ii) remove the usage of of_default_bus_ids in of_platform_bus_probe
iii) removes the definition of the list from all architectures that defined it
Passing a NULL 'matches' parameter to of_platform_bus_probe is still valid; the
function returns no error in that case as the NULL value is equivalent to an
empty list.

Both of_bus_type and of_platform_bus_type are just #define aliases
for the platform bus. This patch removes all references to them and
switches to the of_register_platform_driver()/of_unregister_platform_driver()
API for registering.
Subsequent patches will convert each user of of_register_platform_driver()
into plain platform_drivers without the of_platform_driver shim. At which
point the of_register_platform_driver()/of_unregister_platform_driver()
functions can be removed.

of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus.
The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated
from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually
statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes
the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it
was possible for the same device to appear on either bus.
This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform
bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch
made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure,
and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus.
After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform
drivers, the shim code can be removed.
