This patchset makes it possible to use kgdb's NMI infrastructure on ARM platforms.
The patches have been previously circulated as part of a large patchset mixing together ARM architecture code and driver changes (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/333901 ). This patchset is dramatically cut down to include only the arch/arm code. The driver code (irqchip and tty/serial) will follow when/if the arch code is accepted.
The first two patches modify the FIQ infrastructure to allow interrupt controller drivers to register callbacks (the fiq_chip structure) to manage FIQ routings and to signal FIQ EOI. This makes it possible to use FIQ in multi-platform kernels and with recent ARM interrupt controllers.
The remaining two patches provide architecture support for KGDB's NMI feature (and rely upon the preceding changes to the FIQ code).
Tested on qemu (versatile), STiH416 (B2020 board) and Freescale i.MX6 quad (wandboard).
Changes since v5:
- Separated anything not strictly impacting arch/arm. - Fixed a spurious add/remove of code within the series (there was broken code in intermediate patches)
