Subject[ 26/42] x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()
3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

commit 3751d3e85cf693e10e2c47c03c8caa65e171099b upstream.

There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.

The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.

The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.
