16 * GDB assumes that we're a user process being debugged, so
17 * it will send us an SWI command to write into memory as the
18 * debug trap. When an SWI occurs, the next instruction addr is
19 * placed into R14_svc before jumping to the vector trap.
20 * This doesn't work for kernel debugging as we are already in SVC
21 * we would loose the kernel's LR, which is a bad thing. This
22 * is bad thing.
24 * By doing this as an undefined instruction trap, we force a mode
25 * switch from SVC to UND mode, allowing us to save full kernel state.
27 * We also define a KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK which can be used to compile
28 * in breakpoints. This is important for things like sysrq-G and for
29 * the initial breakpoint from trap_init().
31 * Note to ARM HW designers: Add real trap support like SH && PPC to
32 * make our lives much much simpler. :)

53 * From Kevin Hilman:
55 * gdb is expecting the following registers layout.
57 * r0-r15: 1 long word each
58 * f0-f7: unused, 3 long words each !!
59 * fps: unused, 1 long word
60 * cpsr: 1 long word
62 * Even though f0-f7 and fps are not used, they need to be
63 * present in the registers sent for correct processing in
64 * the host-side gdb.
66 * In particular, it is crucial that CPSR is in the right place,
67 * otherwise gdb will not be able to correctly interpret stepping over
68 * conditional branches.
