This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test

See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about

0x0004 - allow arbitrary writes to memory

0x0008 - allow current register state to be inspected

0x0010 - allow current register state to be modified

0x0020 - allow passive inspection (backtrace, process list, lsmod)

you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type

kernel is still usable in this situation.

If an architecture can definitely handle entering the debugger
|
|
when early_param's are parsed then it select this config.
|
|
Otherwise, if "kgdbwait" is passed on the kernel command line it
|
|
won't actually be processed until dbg_late_init() just after the
|
|
call to kgdb_arch_late() is made.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will
|
|
still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes
|
|
when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the
|
|
"kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init(). If you get a
|
|
crash and try to drop into kgdb somewhere between these two
|
|
places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb
|
|
depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted.
