[ Upstream commitab8ad279ce] flush_icache_range() contains a bodge to avoid issuing IPIs when the kgdb trap handler is running because issuing IPIs is unsafe (and not needed) in this execution context. However the current test, based on kgdb_connected is flawed: it both over-matches and under-matches. The over match occurs because kgdb_connected is set when gdb attaches to the stub and remains set during normal running. This is relatively harmelss because in almost all cases irq_disabled() will be false. The under match is more serious. When kdb is used instead of kgdb to access the debugger then kgdb_connected is not set in all the places that the debug core updates sw breakpoints (and hence flushes the icache). This can lead to deadlock. Fix by replacing the ad-hoc check with the proper kgdb macro. This also allows us to drop the #ifdef wrapper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
