Hello KDB community, It is with great pleasure that I announce that KDB has been accepted into the upcoming 2.6.35 kernel release. This kernel should be available in its final form around the middle of August.
Jason Wessel, and others, worked extremely hard over the last 9 months to integrate the KDB interface and commands into the kernel as an interactive front-end for the existing KGDB 'debug core' subsystem. He worked tirelessly to get Acks from every subsystem maintainer that was affected by the KDB patches. Thanks again. I don't plan to continue to produce patches for the "old" stand-alone KDB. Any new feature development will be done against the upstream kernel tree and will be pushed via Jason and the KGDB mailing list. This list will remain active for discussions related to the old KDB. In the course of development, some of the 'uglier' and architecture specific parts of KDB were set aside. Most notably this would include: * x86 disassembly support * backtraces with command argument Also, because there is no upstream support for KGDB on ia64, there is also no ia64 support for the combined kdb/kgdb. The documentation for using kdb/kgdb is available in the kernel tree or in the kgdb wiki: https://kgdb.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page mh _______________________________________________ kdb mailing list [email protected] http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/kdb
