Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/4] ARM/KGDB: Some fixes for SMP machines

Hi Anton,

> It appears that KGDB can easily hang SMP ARM machines.

Yep. As pointed out at:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/8/214

Commit ae6bf53e broke kgdb on SMP systems because it incorrectly assumes
that atomic_{inc,dec} imply barriers. Until this is fixed, it will never
work reliably on ARM. Try reverting the patch [this doesn't completely
resolve the situation, but it might help].

This patch might help if you're using the ARM11MPCore:

Hope that helps,

Will
