On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

kgdb_mips_notify is called on IBE/DBE/FPE/BP/TRAP/RI exception. None
of them need fixup. And doing fixup for a breakpoint exception will
confuse gdb.

The new kgdb architecture specific handler registers and unregisters
dynamically for exceptions depending on when you configure a kgdb I/O
driver.
Aside from initializing the exceptions earlier in the boot process,
kgdb should have no impact on a device when it is compiled in so long
as an I/O module is not configured for use.
There have been quite a number of contributors during the existence of
this patch (see arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c). Most recently Jason
re-wrote the mips kgdb logic to use the die notification handlers.
