Can we just get a patch sent to Linus, please?   His tree has now been
broken for powerpc and sparc32 for 5 days :-(

It would have been nice if the original patch had been in linux-next at
some point (especially given that I have a "kgdb" tree in linux-next).

/me just slightly annoyed.

Linus, the fix patch is below (I have applied it to linux-next today):

From:	Mike Frysinger <vapier@xxxxxxxxxx>
To:	kgdb-bugreport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
	Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
	Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Cc:	linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-next@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: [PATCH] kgdbts: only use new asm-generic/ptrace.h api when needed
Date:	Sat, 28 May 2011 10:04:25 -0400

The new instruction_pointer_set helper is defined for people who have
converted to asm-generic/ptrace.h, so don't use it generally unless
the arch needs it (in which case it has been converted).  This should
fix building of kgdb tests for arches not yet converted.
