mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace
The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.
Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.
Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.
There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.
