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. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

help
|

Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and
|
|
the amount of time spent in hypervisor calls. Wall time spent in
|
|
each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent
|
|
are also calculated. A directory named hcall_inst is added at the
|
|
root of the debugfs filesystem. Within the hcall_inst directory
|
|
are files that contain CPU specific call statistics.

This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor

calls.

The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon
