Subject: [PATCH 09/13] RFC ONLY - powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catching
Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 16:23:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241817800-9320-10-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241817800-9320-9-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>
This is a RFC patch. The work to possibly merge kdb and kgdb is being
evaluated and this patch is considered only a proof of concept or
prototype.
The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" low level
program_check_exception() handler.
The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is
called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb
needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint
exception.

This will add an extra call back to kgdb for the breakpoint
