ARMv6 cores do not implement the DBGOSLAR register, so we don't need to
try and clear it on boot. Furthermore, the VCR is zeroed out of reset,
so we don't need to zero it explicitly when a CPU comes online.

The ARM hw_breakpoint backend is currently a bit too noisy when things
start to go awry.

This patch removes a couple of over-zealous WARN_ONCE invocations and
replaces then with pr_warnings instead.

The ARM debug registers can only be accessed if the DBGSWENABLE signal
to the core is driven HIGH by the DAP. The architecture does not provide
a way to detect the value of this signal, so the best we can do is
register an undef_hook to trap debug register co-processor accesses and
then fail if the trap is taken.

ARM debug architecture 7.1 mandates that the DFAR is updated on a
watchpoint debug exception to contain the faulting virtual address
of the memory access. This allows us to determine which watchpoints
have fired and therefore report useful information to userspace.

This patch adds support for using the DFAR in the watchpoint handler,
which allows us to support multiple watchpoints on CPUs implementing
the new debug architecture.

<title>ARM: hw_breakpoint: reserve one breakpoint for watchpoint stepping</title>

The current hw_breakpoint code on ARM reserves 1 breakpoint for each
watchpoint that is available. Since debug architectures prior to 7.1
are restricted to 1 watchpoint anyway, only one breakpoint was ever
reserved.

This patch changes the reservation strategy so that a single breakpoint
is reserved, regardless of the number of watchpoints. This is in
preparation for multiple-watchpoint support on debug architectures
from 7.1 onwards.

Avoid enabling interrupts if the parent context had interrupts enabled
in the abort handler assembly code, and move this into the breakpoint/
page/alignment fault handlers instead.

This gets rid of some special-casing for the breakpoint fault handlers
from the low level abort handler path.

The DBGVCR, used for configuring vector catch debug events, is UNKNOWN
out of reset on ARMv7. When enabling monitor mode, this must be zeroed
to avoid UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.

This patch adds the zeroing code to the debug reset path.

ARMv7 allows the debug core logic to be powered down and provides the
DBGPRSR register so that software can power-up and check the status of
the logic.

This patch ensures that the debug logic is powered up on ARMv7 cores
before we attempt to access the extended debug registers.
