    powerpc/xmon: add debugfs entry for xmon · de78ae6c
    Guilherme G. Piccoli authored
    Currently the xmon debugger is set only via kernel boot command-line.
    It's disabled by default, and can be enabled with "xmon=on" on the
    command-line. Also, xmon may be accessed via sysrq mechanism.
    But we cannot enable/disable xmon in runtime, it needs kernel reload.
    
    This patch introduces a debugfs entry for xmon, allowing user to query
    its current state and change it if desired. Basically, the "xmon" file
    to read from/write to is under the debugfs mount point, on powerpc
    directory. It's a simple attribute, value 0 meaning xmon is disabled
    and value 1 the opposite. Writing these states to the file will take
    immediate effect in the debugger.
