Cleanups
Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to support it
Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were no
bug reports so no one was using this command
Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations
Fixes
Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args
kdb help command truncated text
ppc64 support for kgdbts
Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with
catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically
on continue from kdb

Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel:
"For a change we removed more code than we added. If people aren't
using it we shouldn't be carrying it. :-)
Cleanups:
- Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to
support it
- Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were
no bug reports so no one was using this command
- Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations
Fixes:
- Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args
- kdb help command truncated text
- ppc64 support for kgdbts
- Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with
catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically
on continue from kdb"
* tag 'for_linux-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb:
kdb: Remove unhandled ssb command
kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
kdb: Remove the ll command
kdb_main: fix help print

This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a

|
catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
|
|
When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
|
|
will happen until you type 'go'.
|
|
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
|
|
you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
|
|
'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
|
|
kernel is still usable in this situation.
|
|
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
|
|
No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
|
|
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
|
|
If you are not sure, say 0.
