AArch64 Single Steping and Breakpoint debug exceptions will be
used by multiple debug framworks like kprobes & kgdb.
This patch implements the hooks for those frameworks to register
their own handlers for handling breakpoint and single step events.
Reworked the debug exception handler in entry.S: do_dbg to route
software breakpoint (BRK64) exception to do_debug_exception()

The current breakpoint instruction checking code for A32 is not endian
clean. Fix this with appropriate byte-swapping when retrieving
instructions.

This is the ARM part of Christoph's patchset cleaning up the various
uses of __get_cpu_var across the tree.
The idea is to convert __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations
that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and fewer
registers are used when code is generated.
[will: fixed debug ref counting checks and pcpu array accesses]

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/arm64 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. Currently arm64 does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

The software breakpoint handlers are hooked in directly from ptrace,
which makes it difficult to add additional handlers for things like
kprobes and kgdb.
This patch moves the handling code into debug-monitors.c, where we can
dispatch to different debug subsystems more easily.

During boot, we take the debug OS lock before interrupts are enabled.
This is required to prevent clearing of PSTATE.D on the interrupt entry
path, which could result in spurious debug exceptions before we've got
round to resetting things like the hardware breakpoints registers to a
sane state.
A problem with this approach is that taking the OS lock prevents an
external JTAG debugger from debugging the system, which is especially
irritating during boot, where JTAG debugging can be most useful.
This patch clears mdscr_el1 rather than taking the lock, clearing the
MDE and KDE bits and preventing self-hosted hardware debug exceptions
from occurring.
