The sixth argument of notify_die() is a signal number, the fifth is a
trap number.

Instead of passing a signal number in a randomly selected argument,
pass it in the sixth.  Extract the exception code from regs and pass
that as the trap number.

Get rid of redundant cast, and remove some gratuitous spaces.

Nobody actually does anything with the signal number or trap number,
but we might as well populate them with sensible values.

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan.

I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES.  The
KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc.  A possible
future enhance might be to factor out the common code.

Breaking here dropped us to the default code which always sends a SIGILL
to the current process, no matter what the CU2 notifier says.

[Ralf: Currently this only hurts on Cavium and possibly some out of tree
platforms.]

<title>mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace</title>

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.

Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.

There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.

f6be75d03c8870be91e6e2a195648ece04b6bb16 (kernel.org) broke some 64-bit
MIPS systems.

Before this we were using XKPHYS/cached as ebase and computed the uncached
xphsys/unchached address for that area. After that commit ebase became a
32-bit compat address and convert does not work anymore.  We now should use
CKSEG1 for this. CKSEG1ADDR does just that in 32-bit and 64-bit.

<title>MIPS: die() does not call die notifier chain</title>

The MIPS implementation of die() forgets to call notify_die() and thus notifiers
registered via register_die_notifier() are not called.  This results in kgdb not
being activated on exceptions.

The only subtlety is that notify_die declares its regs argument w/o const, so
the const had to be removed from mips die() as well.
