  • Fix two regressions dealing with the kgdb core.

    1) kgdb_skipexception and kgdb_post_primary_code are optional
    functions that are only required on archs that need special exception
    fixups.

    2) The kernel address space scope must be set on any probe_kernel_*
    function or archs such as ARCH=arm will not allow access to the kernel
    memory space. As an example, it is required to allow the full kernel
    address space is when you the kernel debugger to inspect a system
    call.

    Uninlined and restricted to kernel range memory only, as suggested
    by Linus.
