Based on the step-handler and break-handler hooks patch from
Sandeepa (Patch 1), KGDB debugging support is added for EL1
debug in AArch64 mode. Any updates that come for Patch 1 from
Sandeepa will be rebased in next version
With first patch,register layout is updated to be inline with GDB tool.
Basic GDB connection, break point set/clear and info commands
are supported except step/next debugging
With second patch, step/next debugging support is added, where in
pc is updated to point to the instruction to be stepped and
stopped.
v2:
- Moved break instruction encoding to debug-monitors.h file
- Fixed endianess of compile break instruction encoding
- Updated I/O buffer sizes
- Updated register buffer size
- Remove changes to debug_exception handler in entry.S for
- ELR update and step debugging with update pc instead of ELR
- Rebased against AArch64 upstream kernel
v1:
- Initial patch-set
Tested with Aarch64 GDB tool chain on simulator
