I spend a little time earlier this month looking at kdb_read() and ended up doing a little light refactoring a bit to make easier to read.
Most of the patches are simple tidy ups although patches 4 and 5 introduce new behaviours. Patch 4 is probably not controversial but perhaps patch 5 is ;-). Tested as shown here: https://github.com/daniel-thompson/kgdbtest/commit/c65e28d99357c2df6dac2cebe195574e634d04dc Daniel Thompson (5): kdb: Tidy up code to handle escape sequences kdb: Simplify code to fetch characters from console kdb: Remove special case logic from kdb_read() kdb: Improve handling of characters from different input sources kdb: Tweak escape handling for vi users kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c | 218 +++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 99 insertions(+), 119 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Kgdb-bugreport mailing list Kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kgdb-bugreport
