Merge tag 'kgdb-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/danielt/linux

Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
 "A fairly modest set of changes for this cycle.

  Of particular note are an earlycon fix from Doug Anderson and my own
  changes to get kgdb/kdb to honour the kprobe blocklist. The later
  creates a safety rail that strongly encourages developers not to place
  breakpoints in, for example, arch specific trap handling code.

  Also included are a couple of small fixes and tweaks: an API update,
  eliminate a coverity dead code warning, improved handling of search
  during multi-line printk and a couple of typo corrections"
