Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level
initialization. If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to
pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb.
On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it
starts working at some point in time before Linux parses
early_params's. On other architectures it doesn't. A survey of a few
platforms:
a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to
work here.
b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can
also be made to work.
c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until
paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init()
Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells
the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at
dbg_late_init() time. If an architecture has tested it and wants to
re-enable super early debugging, they can select the
ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option. We'll do this for x86 to start.
It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in
the system.
Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init. If kgdb
is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing
early_param's. This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from
"kgdbwait". This means:
* Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch
crashes after kgdb inits.
* arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded
kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even
before dbg_late_init().
