c429886a70 Blackfin: allow NMI watchdog to be used w/RETN as a scratch reg
NMIs are not safe to return from because many anomaly workarounds are
implemented by disabling interrupts.  The NMI obviously violates this
assumption.  Since the NMI watchdog never returns, we don't have to
worry about it clobbering RETN when it is being used as a scratch register
with the exception stack.

6ce3e9c2a2 Blackfin: add support for the DBGA (debug assert) pseudo insn
A few pseudo debug insns exist to make testing of simulators easier.
Since these don't actually exist in the hardware, we have to have the
exception handler take care of emulating these.  This allows sim test
cases to be executed unmodified under Linux and thus simplify debugging
greatly.

b9a3899d59 Blackfin: make deferred hardware errors more exact
Hardware errors on the Blackfin architecture are queued by nature of the
hardware design.  Things that could generate a hardware level queue up at
the system interface and might not process until much later, at which
point the system would send a notification back to the core.

As such, it is possible for user space code to do something that would
trigger a hardware error, but have it delay long enough for the process
context to switch.  So when the hardware error does signal, we mistakenly
evaluate it as a different process or as kernel context and panic (erp!).
This makes it pretty difficult to find the offending context.  But wait,
there is good news somewhere.

By forcing a SSYNC in the interrupt entry, we force all pending queues at
the system level to be processed and all hardware errors to be signaled.
Then we check the current interrupt state to see if the hardware error is
now signaled.  If so, we re-queue the current interrupt and return thus
allowing the higher priority hardware error interrupt to process properly.
Since we haven't done any other context processing yet, the right context
will be selected and killed.  There is still the possibility that the
exact offending instruction will be unknown, but at least we'll have a
much better idea of where to look.

The downside of course is that this causes system-wide syncs at every
interrupt point which results in significant performance degradation.
Since this situation should not occur in any properly configured system
(as hardware errors are triggered by things like bad pointers), make it a
debug configuration option and disable it by default.
