Subject[PATCH 17/17] debug_core,kdb: fix crash when arch does not have single step
Date
When an arch such as mips and microblaze does not implement either HW
or software single stepping the debug core should re-enter kdb. The
kdb code will properly ignore the single step operation. Attempting
to single step the kernel without software or hardware support causes
unpredictable kernel crashes.
