Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel:
 "For a change we removed more code than we added.  If people aren't
  using it we shouldn't be carrying it.  :-)

  Cleanups:
   - Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to
     support it

   - Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were
     no bug reports so no one was using this command

   - Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations

  Fixes:
   - Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args

   - kdb help command truncated text

   - ppc64 support for kgdbts

   - Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with
     catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically
     on continue from kdb"

* tag 'for_linux-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb:
  kdb: Remove unhandled ssb command
  kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
  kdb: Remove the ll command
  kdb_main: fix help print
  kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpy
  Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option.
  kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb
  kdb: use ARRAY_SIZE where possible
  kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64
  kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion

Although invasive kdb commands are not supported via kgdb, some useful
non-invasive commands like bt* require basic kdb state to be setup before
calling into the kdb code. Factor out some of this code and call it before
and after executing kdb commands via kgdb.

There's no reason kgdb.h itself needs to include the 8250 serial port
header file.  So push it down to the _very_ limited number of individual
drivers that need the values in that file, and fix up the places where
people really wanted serial_core.h and platform_device.h.

The gdbstub and kdb should get detached if the system is rebooting.
Calling gdbstub_exit() will set the proper debug core state and send a
message to any debugger that is connected to correctly detach.

An attached debugger will receive the exit code from
include/linux/reboot.h based on SYS_HALT, SYS_REBOOT, etc...

<title>kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -&gt; gdb</title>

When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost
depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip.  When gdb
initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any
character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections.

Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could
lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur
on the initial connect.

Notify GDB of the machine halting, rebooting or powering off by sending it an
exited command (remote protocol command 'W').  This is done by calling:

	void gdbstub_exit(int status)

from the arch's machine_{halt,restart,power_off}() functions with an
appropriate exit status to be reported to GDB.

Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb.  The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses.  The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.

Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.

This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register.  The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.
