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.

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.
Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.
Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate

Add DMA support for Microblaze. There are some part of this new feature:
1. Basic DMA support
2. Enable DMA debug option
3. Setup notifier
Ad 1. dma-mapping come from powerpc and x86 version and it is based on
generic dma-mapping-common.h
Ad 2. DMA support debug features which is used in generic file.
For more information please look at Documentation/DMA-API.txt
Ad 3. notifier is very important to setup dma_ops. Without this part
for example ll_temac driver failed because there are no setup dma operations.

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl.
For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder.
Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part.

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.

This is working implemetation but the problem is that
Microblaze misses frame pointer that's why is there
big loop which trace and show all addresses which are in text.
It shows addresses which are in registers, etc.
This is problem and this is the reason why all Microblaze
traces are wrong. There is an option to do hacks and trace
the kernel code but this is too complicated.

Reviewed the Makefile on request by Michal and this is the resulting changes.
o Use ':=' for assignmnet so we do not re-evaluate for each use
o Use $(shell echo xxx) to remove ""
o Replaced CFLAGS_KERNEL with KBUILD_CFLAGS
The settings are equally relevant for modules and the linked kernel
o Dropped LDFLAGS_BLOB - it is no longer used
o Refactored assignmnets to libs-y and core-y
o Use MMU for the MMU specific extension. "MMUEXT" was hurting my eyes
and I did not wanted it spread to m68k
