Merge tag 'kgdb-5.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/danielt/linux

Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
 "By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow
  much earlier debug of systems that are hooked up via UART by taking
  advantage of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks
  before handing over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are
  available. When discussing Doug's work we also found and fixed an
  broken raw_smp_processor_id() sequence in in_dbg_master().

  Also included are a collection of much smaller fixes and tweaks: a
  couple of tweaks to ged rid of doc gen or coccicheck warnings, future
  proof some internal calculations that made implicit power-of-2
  assumptions and eliminate some rather weird handling of magic
  environment variables in kdb"
