kdb_read() contains special case logic to force it exit after reading
a single character. We can remove all the special case logic by directly
calling the function to read a single character instead. This also
allows us to tidy up the function prototype which, because it now matches
getchar(), we can also rename in order to make its role clearer.

nit: since you're doing the rename, should you rename
kdb_read_handle_escape() to match?

nit: should we start moving to the standard kernel convention of
kernel-doc style comments?  See
"Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst"

Before your paragraph, maybe add: "Most of the work of this function
is dealing with escape sequences." to give it a little bit of context.

Is "int" the right return type here, or "unsigned char"?  You never
return EOF, right?  Always a valid character?  NOTE: if you do change
this to "unsigned char" I think you still need to keep the local "key"
variable as an "int" since -1 shouldn't be confused with the character
255.

By removing this you broke "BTAPROMPT".  So doing:

set BTAPROMPT=1
bta

It's now impossible to quit out.  Not that I've ever used BTAPROMPT,
but seems like we should either get rid of it or keep it working.

The type of "ch" should be the same as returned by kdb_getchar()?
Either "int" if you're keeping it "int" or "unsigned char"?

Remove "&& ch != '\n'".  We would have hit an earlier case in the
if/else anyway.  If you really want to keep it here for some reason, I
guess you should also handle '\r' ?

It will look a little odd whilst the others are still in the old form
but it seems like a good direction of travel... will update.

unsigned char sounds best.

Thanks. Just to check I got exactly what you meant I assume this could
also have been phrased as "it looks like you forgot to convert the
kdb_getstr() in kdb_bt1() over to use the new kdb_getchar() function"?

PS I will update kgdbtest to cover this case.

Probably... although the assumption that kdb strings are char * is burnt
in a lot of places so there will still be further tidy up needed.

Let's remove.

Right.  Sorry for wording it in a confusing way.  ;-)

True.  It doesn't matter a whole lot so if you think it's easier to
keep it as char that's OK too.

After looking at it from a number of angles I think we can have this
match the return type of kdb_getchar()... but the best way to achieve
this is to make kdb_getchar() return a unqualified char.

That ends up consistent across the sub-system and shouldn't do any
narrowing that wouldn't already have been happening inside kdb_read().
