-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/ contains a patch for kdb v1.5-beta1 against 2.4.0-test8, patch against 2.4.0-test9-pre6 will be there soon. Copied to linux-xfs for interest only, XFS will stay on kdb v1.4 until kdb v1.5 has been better tested. This version of kdb has had a lot of internal changes from kdb v1.4 so it comes with even less warranty than normal. You may hit problems in the debugger itself so only apply this patch if you want to explore the debugger, if you want to do real debugging then stick to kdb v1.4 for the moment. All the global kdb state has been converted to per cpu state, this gives a lot more control over what kdb can do to individual cpus. Besides the internal rewrite, there are quite a few externally visible changes. man Documentation/kdb/kdb.mm, sections INITIAL KDB COMMANDS onwards. * Initial commands. Edit kdb/kdb_cmds to define your startup commands, build and install the new kernel. Allows per user definition of startup kdb commands. * SS and SSB commands now only let one cpu run and attempt to block interrupts while they do so. Previously ss[b] let all cpus run with interrupts enabled which meant the kernel changed while you were debugging. * kdb can now recover from errors in its own commands. This is the requirement that triggered the rewrite, it turned out to be a can of worms. * kdb can now go recursive which gives you some self debugging capability. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE5zefAi4UHNye0ZOoRAghjAKCSBmVjg4/JNa0P4aU0l+MSBa9QAQCcDdXw LpqTl5moOVKO/9w+n1+y3k8= =1xuA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
