[PATCH] tty: serial: meson_uart: Add support for kernel debugger

From: Julien Masson <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-01 09:59:50
Also in: linux-amlogic, linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

The kgdb invokes the poll_put_char and poll_get_char when communicating
with the host. This patch implement the serial polling hooks for the
meson_uart to be used for KGDB debugging over serial line.

Signed-off-by: Julien Masson <redacted>

It has been tested on "Le Potato" board:
https://libre.computer/products/boards/aml-s905x-cc/

Kernel command line arguments:
kgdboc=ttyAML0,115200 kgdbretry=4 nokaslr kgdbcon

Kernel modules:
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y

Warning: for single step instruction I had to apply this patch:
