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.
