Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Enable support for kgdb NMI console feature

This work is derived from Daniel's prior work here [1]. It has been
rebased (tag: kgdb-5.8-rc1 + console hardening patch-set[2]), reworked
to use serial RX interrupt as NMI (pseudo NMI on aarch64) in order to
drop into debugger and tested on Developerbox (using amba-pl011).

- Patch #1 is more of a fix required for NMI console to replace kgdb IO
  console.
- Patches #2 to #6 adds an architecture agnostic fallback mechanism to
  enable kgdb NMI console using serial RX interrupt as NMI.
- Patch #7 is an optimization patch that gets rid of inefficient timer
  based tasklet and rather uses irq_work.

Usage of kgdb NMI console:
- Enable "CONFIG_SERIAL_KGDB_NMI".
- Kernel cmdline modification for Developerbox:
   console=ttyNMI0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0

Daniel Thompson (5):
  tty: serial: Add poll_get_irq() to the polling interface
  kgdb: Add request_nmi() to the io ops table for kgdboc
  serial: kgdb_nmi: Add support for interrupt based fallback
  serial: 8250: Implement poll_get_irq() interface
  serial: kgdb_nmi: Replace hrtimer with irq_work ping

Sumit Garg (2):
  serial: kgdb_nmi: Allow NMI console to replace kgdb IO console
  serial: amba-pl011: Implement poll_get_irq() interface
