Subject: [PATCH 07/13] RFC ONLY - x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hook
Date: Fri,  8 May 2009 16:23:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241817800-9320-8-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241817800-9320-7-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>

This is a RFC patch.  The work to possibly merge kdb and kgdb is being
evaluated and this patch is considered only a proof of concept or
prototype.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
handler.

Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Since this is an RFC, the question would be how to implement this as
an "alternative?  The idea is that you want the calls to be always be
NOP's unless a kgdb I/O driver has been loaded.
