This series was originally part of the series ("serial: Finish kgdb on qcom_geni; fix many lockdep splats w/ kgdb") but it made sense to split it up. It's believed that dropping into kgdb should be more robust once these patches are applied. Changes in v4: - Removed smp_mb() calls. - Also clear out .debuggerinfo. - Also clear out .debuggerinfo and .task for the master. - Remove clearing out in kdb_stub for offline CPUs; it's now redundant. Changes in v3: - No separate init call. - Don't round up the CPU that is doing the rounding up. - Add "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" to match the rest of the file. - Updated desc saying we don't solve the "failed to roundup" case. - Document the ignored parameter. - Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before new for v3. - Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up new for v3. Changes in v2: - Removing irq flags separated from fixing lockdep splat. - Don't use smp_call_function (Daniel).
