Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel: "For a change we removed more code than we added. If people aren't using it we shouldn't be carrying it. :-) Cleanups: - Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to support it - Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were no bug reports so no one was using this command - Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations Fixes: - Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args - kdb help command truncated text - ppc64 support for kgdbts - Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically on continue from kdb" * tag 'for_linux-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb: kdb: Remove unhandled ssb command kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd kdb: Remove the ll command kdb_main: fix help print kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpy Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option. kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb kdb: use ARRAY_SIZE where possible kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64 kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion

+ default "0"
+ help
+ This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
+ catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
+ When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
+ will happen until you type 'go'.
+ CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
+ you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
+ 'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
+ kernel is still usable in this situation.
+ CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
+ No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
+ CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
+ If you are not sure, say 0.
