arm64: KGDB: Add step debugging support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add KGDB software step debugging support for EL1 debug
in AArch64 mode.

KGDB registers step debug handler with debug monitor.
On receiving 'step' command from GDB tool, target enables
software step debugging and step address is updated in ELR.

Software Step debugging is disabled when 'continue' command
is received
