[PATCH/RFC] *BSD kernel debugging

2004-05-17 Thread Mark Kettenis
FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD all provide the kvm(3) interface for debugging kernel virtual memory images: kernel crash dumps and live kernels. All three include support for this interface in the version of GDB bundled with the OS, but this code was never contributed back. I've recently implemented
