<content type='text'>
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

Kgdb uses brki r16, 0x18 instruction to call
low level _debug_exception function which save
current state to pt_regs and call microblaze_kgdb_break
function. _debug_exception should be called only from
the kernel space. User space calling is not supported
because user application debugging uses different handling.

pt_regs_to_gdb_regs loads additional special registers
which can't be changed

 * Enable KGDB in Kconfig
 * Remove ancient not-tested KGDB support
 * Remove ancient _debug_exception code from entry.S

Only MMU KGDB support is supported.

This is the first patch which add support for
user application debugging through brki rX, 0x18 vector.

This patch has side effect which also remove security issue
to use brki rX, 0x18 to freeze kernel.

Support for old gdb support via priviledged exception
(brk r0, r0) is still there. It will be remove in future.

Syscall can be called only from userspace that's why
we don't need to check which space kernel come from.

Kernel syscall calling is not check and shouldn't come
throught this part of code.
