In blackfin, kgdb is running in delayed exception IRQ5 other than in
exception IRQ3 directly.  Register reti other than retx in pt_regs is
the kgdb return address. So, don't put PC in gdb_regs into retx.

Blackfin needs it own arch specific probe_kernel_read() and
probe_kernel_write().

This was moved out of the kgdb code and into the
arch/blackfin/maccess.c, because it is a generic kernel api.

The arch specific kgdb.c for blackfin was cleaned of all functions
which exist in the kgdb core that do the same thing after resolving
the probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write().  This also
eliminated the need for most of the #include's.

<title>FDPIC: Respect PT_GNU_STACK exec protection markings when creating NOMMU stack</title>

<id>04e4f2b18c8de1389d1e00fef0f42a8099910daf</id>
<content type='text'>
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but
then only use the markings in the MMU code path.  The NOMMU code path
always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call.  While this doesn't matter
to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless
icache flush when starting every FDPIC application.  Typically this
icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may
be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU.

In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired
(EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine
whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not.

For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without
the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an
important difference.

It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of
the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack.  However,
this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the
brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define

let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.
