With the removal of set_fs() calls kgdb_call_nmi_hook() is now the same as
the default implementation, so we can remove it.

<title>Revert "MIPS: kernel: {ftrace,kgdb}: Set correct address limit for cache flushes"</title>

This reverts commit 6ebda44f366478d1eea180d93154e7d97b591f50.

All icache flushes in this code paths are done via flush_icache_range(),
which only uses normal cache instruction. And this is the correct thing
for EVA mode, too. So no need to do set_fs(KERNEL_DS) here.

KGDB_call_nmi_hook is called by other cpu through smp call.
MIPS smp call is processed in ipi irq handler and regs is saved in
 handle_int.
So kgdb_call_nmi_hook get regs by get_irq_regs and regs will be passed
 to kgdb_cpu_enter.

<title>get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function</title>

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.

Roughly scripted with

   git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
   git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'

plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat

Specifically it looked like this:

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().  If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.

Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs.  Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.

In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.

Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants.  I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to.  Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
  get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
  kgdb_nmicallback()

NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before.  We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock.  That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

up a CPU that failed to round up before.  We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock.  That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

<title>kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup</title>

The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

&gt; the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is
&gt; local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus().

Nobody used those flags.  Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them.  So we can definitely remove the flags.

<title>MIPS: KGDB: Use kernel context for sleeping threads</title>

KGDB is a kernel debug stub and it can't be used to debug userland as it
can only safely access kernel memory.

On MIPS however KGDB has always got the register state of sleeping
processes from the userland register context at the beginning of the
kernel stack. This is meaningless for kernel threads (which never enter
userland), and for user threads it prevents the user seeing what it is
doing while in the kernel:

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id         Frame
  ...
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
  2    Thread 1 (init)   0x000000007705c4b4 in ?? ()
  1    Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201

Get the register state instead from the (partial) kernel register
context stored in the task's thread_struct for resume() to restore. All
threads now correctly appear to be in context_switch():

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id         Frame
  ...
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd) context_switch (rq=&lt;optimized out&gt;, cookie=..., next=&lt;optimized out&gt;, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903
  2    Thread 1 (init)   context_switch (rq=&lt;optimized out&gt;, cookie=..., next=&lt;optimized out&gt;, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903
  1    Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201

Call clobbered registers which aren't saved and exception registers
(BadVAddr &amp; Cause) which can't be easily determined without stack
unwinding are reported as 0. The PC is taken from the return address,
such that the state presented matches that found immediately after
returning from resume().
