kdb: Use for_each_console() helper (2020-01-31 17:34:54 +0000)
---------------------------------------------------------------- kgdb patches for 5.6-rc1
Everything for kgdb this time around is either simplifications or clean ups.
In particular Douglas Anderson's modifications to the backtrace machine in the *last* dev cycle have enabled Doug to tidy up some MIPS specific backtrace code and stop sharing certain data structures across the kernel. Note that The MIPS folks were on Cc: for the MIPS patch and reacted positively (but without an explicit Acked-by).
Doug also got rid of the implicit switching between tasks and register sets during some but not of kdb's backtrace actions (because the implicit switching was either confusing for users, pointless or both).
Finally there is a coverity fix and patch to replace open coded console traversal with the proper helper function.
