[RFC PATCH 18/32] x86/fred: add a debug fault entry stub for FRED

From: Xin Li
Date: Tue Dec 20 2022 - 02:03:26 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a debug fault entry stub for FRED.

On a FRED system, the debug trap status information (DR6) is passed
on the stack, to avoid the problem of transient state. Furthermore,
FRED transitions avoid a lot of ugly corner cases the handling of which
can, and should be, skipped.

The FRED debug trap status information saved on the stack differs from DR6
in both stickiness and polarity; it is exactly what debug_read_clear_dr6()
returns, and exc_debug_user()/exc_debug_kernel() expect.
