kgdbts: Fix kernel oops with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
On x86 the kgdb test suite will oops when the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and you run the tests after boot time. This is regression has existed since 2.6.26 by commit: b33cb815 (kgdbts: Use HW breakpoints with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA). The test suite can use hw breakpoints for all the tests, but it has to execute the hardware breakpoint specific tests first in order to determine that the hw breakpoints actually work. Specifically the very first test causes an oops: # echo V1I1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts kgdb: Registered I/O driver kgdbts. kgdbts:RUN plant and detach test Entering kdb (current=0xffff880017aa9320, pid 1078) on processor 0 due to Keyboard Entry [0]kdb> kgdbts: ERROR PUT: end of test buffer on 'plant_and_detach_test' line 1 expected OK got $E14#aa WARNING: at drivers/misc/kgdbts.c:730 run_simple_test+0x151/0x2c0() [...oops clipped...] This commit re-orders the running of the tests and puts the RODATA check into its own function so as to correctly avoid the kernel oops by detecting and using the hw breakpoints.
