It seems we were missing some text in the title for the
semihosting DEBUG_LL option. Add in the "/O" and fix up some
minor typos in the help text.

<title>ARM: vexpress: Config option for early printk console</title>

<content type='text'>
Versatile Express platform can be used in different configurations,
the console UART used by early printk may be located at different
addresses in the address space.

This patch makes it possible to select the base address of a PL011
UART to be used as a console output in the kernel configuration.
The default behaviour is still the heuristic detecting memory map
on Cortex-A core tiles.

The zImage decompressor will use the same configuration values
or print out nothing if DEBUG_LL is not enabled.

<id>575320d625d5b5eb115575a1f5e17af456e69577</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes
the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the PROCID field
of the CONTEXTIDR on context switch. This is useful when analysing
hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit
an event into the trace stream.

The thread notifier for writing the PID is deliberately kept separate
from the ASID-writing code so that we can support newer processors using
LPAE, where the ASID is stored in TTBR0. As such, the switch_mm code is
updated to perform a read-modify-write sequence to ensure that we don't
clobber the PID on CPUs using the classic 2-level page tables.

Apart from the necessity to do this change for multi-platform kernels
the previous logic depended on the zImage decompressor to write the
physical and virtual address to a magic memory location.
If the decompressor is unused or not correctly configured for the
current machid, the addruart macro was an infinite loop. Moreover
debugging the early zImage code was not possible either.

This is a very simple method for code running in an emulator, or under
the supervision of a debugger, to use I/O facilities on the controlling
host.

Tested with OpenOCD, and ARM's Fast Models.

Details on semihosting can be found in chapter 8 of
