Mutter, mutter, curse, mutter. We got stuck on things like backtrace going on forever, and then trying to find a way to get GDB to believe we want it to stop backtracing. I think we've finally got that, in a way the GDB folks will approve and won't horribly clutter the kernel. We also got stuck on catching memory faults cleanly since it seems the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) trick we used to use (and I swear worked), stopped working around 2.6.10, but I haven't found time to go back and verify when it stopped working. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
