MN10300: die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs()
die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs() to
indicate that it wants to probe a kernel address. Instead it should use
probe_kernel_read().
This fixes the problem of gdb seeing SIGILL rather than SIGTRAP when hitting
the KGDB special breakpoint upon SysRq+g being seen. The problem was that
die_if_no_fixup() was failing to read the opcode of the instruction that caused
the exception, and thus not fixing up the exception.
This caused gdb to get a S04 response to the $? request in its remote protocol
rather than S05 - which would then cause it to continue with $C04 rather than
$c in an attempt to pass the signal onto the inferior process. The kernel,
however, does not support $Cnn, and so objects by returning an E22 response,
indicating an error. gdb does not expect this and prints:
warning: Remote failure reply: E22
and then returns to the gdb command prompt unable to continue.
