I added the patch to kgdb-next after fixing up the context since it no longer applied to the mainline ( https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb.git/log/?h=kgdb-ne...). If there is further discussion on the point above, another patch can be added, but it I am assuming this is the way you desire it to work as there are some other architectures that use the same behaviour. I do not presently have any ARM64 hardware to validate this particular change.
I also added to the patch a "Cc: linux-stable stable@vger.kernel.org" so we can have this appear on some of the older kernels.
Since Will asked me to split this patch into a few, I need some reworks to clarify which hunks in the patch are necessary for which version of kernel.
Yes, splitting the patch would be much better for sorting out the stable backports too. Jason, please can you drop the patch for now? I don't mind whether the end result goes via arm64 or kgdb, but we should at least both agree on it first :)
