<title>powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug</title>

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).

-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.

This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Patch based on work by:
	Andreas Schwab &lt;schwab@suse.de&gt;
	Segher Boessenkool &lt;segher@kernel.crashing.org&gt;

<title>kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support</title>

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.

It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.

The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

<title>[POWERPC] Discourage people from fiddling with kernel data from prom_init</title>

As BenH said the other day, it is an "accident" that prom_init.o is
linked with the rest of the kernel.  The truth is a little more
subtle, prom_init isn't truly bootloader, it does access kernel data
in a few places.

What we can do is discourage people from adding new code that accesses
data outside of prom_init.  And hence this patch; from the script:

 # This script checks prom_init.o to see what external symbols it
 # is using, if it finds symbols not in the whitelist it returns
 # an error. The point of this is to discourage people from
 # intentionally or accidentally adding new code to prom_init.c
 # which has side effects on other parts of the kernel.
