If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
2008-08-01 17:39:34 +04:00
kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
you also turn on the kernel config option
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/. If
unsure, say N.

This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"

depends on KGDB_KDB
default "0"
help
This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
will happen until you type 'go'.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
kernel is still usable in this situation.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
If you are not sure, say 0.
