Merge tag 'kgdb-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/danielt/linux
Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
"A fairly modest set of changes for this cycle.
Of particular note are an earlycon fix from Doug Anderson and my own
changes to get kgdb/kdb to honour the kprobe blocklist. The later
creates a safety rail that strongly encourages developers not to place
breakpoints in, for example, arch specific trap handling code.
Also included are a couple of small fixes and tweaks: an API update,
eliminate a coverity dead code warning, improved handling of search
during multi-line printk and a couple of typo corrections"
* tag 'kgdb-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/danielt/linux:
kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings
kernel: debug: Centralize dbg_[de]activate_sw_breakpoints
kgdb: Add NOKPROBE labels on the trap handler functions
kgdb: Honour the kprobe blocklist when setting breakpoints
kernel/debug: Fix spelling mistake in debug_core.c
kdb: Use newer api for tasklist scanning
kgdb: Make "kgdbcon" work properly with "kgdb_earlycon"
kdb: remove unnecessary null check of dbg_io_ops
