Subject: [PATCH 18/25] powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catching
Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 20:39:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274233175-3675-19-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1274233175-3675-1-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>

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 allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in
program_check_exception().

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.

[benh@kernel.crashing.org: move debugger_bpt instead of #ifdef]
