11 If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
Jason Wessel5f5ddfb2008-08-01 08:39:34 -050012 kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
13 you also turn on the kernel config option
14 CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
15 backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
16 kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net

36 This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
37 kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
38 intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
39 as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
40 See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
41 the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot

114 This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
115 catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
116 When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
117 will happen until you type 'go'.
118 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
119 you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
120 'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
121 kernel is still usable in this situation.
122 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
123 No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
124 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
125 If you are not sure, say 0.
