The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/arm64 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. Currently arm64 does not have any __CPUINIT used in assembly files.

The software breakpoint handlers are hooked in directly from ptrace, which makes it difficult to add additional handlers for things like kprobes and kgdb. This patch moves the handling code into debug-monitors.c, where we can dispatch to different debug subsystems more easily.

During boot, we take the debug OS lock before interrupts are enabled. This is required to prevent clearing of PSTATE.D on the interrupt entry path, which could result in spurious debug exceptions before we've got round to resetting things like the hardware breakpoints registers to a sane state. A problem with this approach is that taking the OS lock prevents an external JTAG debugger from debugging the system, which is especially irritating during boot, where JTAG debugging can be most useful. This patch clears mdscr_el1 rather than taking the lock, clearing the MDE and KDE bits and preventing self-hosted hardware debug exceptions from occurring.
