Subject: [PATCH v3 07/11] kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb using boot consoles

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.

Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console.  Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.

This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console".  It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions.  That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read.  This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".

The console API isn't really intended to have clients work with it
like we're doing.  Specifically there doesn't appear to be any way for
clients to be notified about a boot console being unregistered.  We'll
work around this by checking that our console is still valid before
using it.  We'll also try to transition off of the boot console and
onto the "tty" API as quickly as possible.

The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together.  You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection.  At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console, kgdb will
switch over.  If you don't use things in the normal/expected way it's
a bit of a buyer-beware situation.  Things thought about:

- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" and the boot
  console vanishes at a weird time we'll panic if someone tries to
  drop into kgdb.
- If you use "keep_bootcon" (which is already a bit of a buyer-beware
  option) and specify "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" we'll keep
  trying to use your boot console for kgdb.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
  device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
  which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
  over gdb in-flight if you're using it).

When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port.  For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly.  Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console.  In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.

This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter.  While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different.  Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other.  The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter.  It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early.  The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga".  It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.

I have kept Greg's Reviewed-by and Sumit's Tested-by tags on this
commit despite changes that aren't totally trivial.  Please yell if
you disagree with this.  Reasons:
- Greg's Reviewed-by seemed more an overall acknowledgment that the
  series wasn't totally insane rather than a detailed review.  I don't
  think the changes from v2 to v3 change that.
- Sumit's Tested-by seemed useful as confirmation that someone else
  made this work on a machine that wasn't mine.  I don't believe that
  the changes from v2 to v3 should affect anything here.

Changes in v3:
- Add deinit() to I/O ops to know a driver can be replaced.
- Don't just neuter input, panic if earlycon vanishes.
- No extra param to kgdb_register_io_module().
- Renamed earlycon_kgdboc to kgdboc_earlycon.
- Simplify earlycon_kgdb deinit by using the deinit() function.

Changes in v2:
- Assumes we have ("kgdb: Disable WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED for all kgdb")
- Fix kgdbts, tty/mips_ejtag_fdc, and usb/early/ehci-dbgp
