ARM: kdgb: use <asm/opcodes.h> for data to be assembled as intruction
The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function uses an inline assembly directive to assemble a specific instruction using .word. This means the linker will not treat is as an instruction, and therefore incorrectly swap the endian-ness if running BE8. As noted, this code means that kgdb is really only usable on arm32 kernels, and should be made dependant on not being a thumb2 kernel until fixed. However this is not something to be added to this patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>
