2022-05-12arch/x86: Add support for catching null dereferences through debug regsRobert Zieba
This commit adds support for catching null dereferences and execution through x86's debug registers. This is particularly useful when running 32-bit coreboot as paging is not enabled to catch these through page faults. This commit adds three new configs to support this feature: DEBUG_HW_BREAKPOINTS, DEBUG_NULL_DEREF_BREAKPOINTS and DEBUG_NULL_DEREF_HALT. BUG=b:223902046 TEST=Ran on nipperkin device, verifying that HW breakpoints work as expected.
