Add GPL-2.0 license id to some files related to kdb and kgdb,
replacing references to GPL or COPYING.
These files were introduced into the kernel in 2008 and 2010.

Fix the breakpoint enable command (be) to a logic that is inline with the
breakpoint disable command (bd) in which if the breakpoint is already in
an enabled state, do not print the message of enabled again to the user.
Also a small nit fix of the new line in a separate print.

Currently kgdb has absolutely no safety rails in place to discourage or
prevent a user from placing a breakpoint in dangerous places such as
the debugger's own trap entry/exit and other places where it is not safe
to take synchronous traps.
Introduce a new config symbol KGDB_HONOUR_BLOCKLIST and modify the
default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use
the kprobe blocklist to prohibit instrumentation of critical functions
if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to
ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB
and are compiling for an architecture where we HAVE_KPROBES.

The point bp is assigned a value that is never read, it is being
re-assigned later to bp = &kdb_breakpoints[lowbp] in a for-loop.
Remove the redundant assignment.

The "bl" (list breakpoints) command prints a '\t' (tab) character
in its output, but on a console (video device), that just prints
some odd graphics character. Instead of printing a tab character,
just align the output with spaces.

This patch introduces several new flags to collect kdb commands into
groups (later allowing them to be optionally disabled).
This follows similar prior art to enable/disable magic sysrq
commands.
The commands have been categorized as follows:
Always on: go (w/o args), env, set, help, ?, cpu (w/o args), sr,
dmesg, disable_nmi, defcmd, summary, grephelp
Mem read: md, mdr, mdp, mds, ef, bt (with args), per_cpu
Mem write: mm
Reg read: rd
Reg write: go (with args), rm
Inspect: bt (w/o args), btp, bta, btc, btt, ps, pid, lsmod
Flow ctrl: bp, bl, bph, bc, be, bd, ss
Signal: kill
Reboot: reboot
All: cpu, kgdb, (and all of the above), nmi_console

Since we now treat KDB_REPEAT_* as flags, there is no need to
pass KDB_REPEAT_NONE. It's just the default behaviour when no

We're about to add more options for commands behaviour, so let's give
a more generic name to the low-level kdb command registration function.
There are just various renames, no functional changes.

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.
To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints
via KDB. Apparently this is a well-known problem, as at least one distribution
now ships with both KDB enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y for security reasons.
This patch adds an printk message to the breakpoint failure case,
in order to provide suggestions about how to use the debugger.

This patch contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was
large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the
instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions
for kdb.
This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/
The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform
independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by
gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb).
The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to
support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic
commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried
forward.
This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current
architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and
blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the
architecture specific kgdb functions.
