Subject: kgdb for 2.6.26

Hi,

I found that kgdb is now able in kernel 2.6.26. Is there any other patch I need to have kgdb up and running for this kernel like 8250.patch, i386.patch along with this. If so, can you please point me to the location to pick it for this kernel.

with regards,
Anil

If you are looking for other I/O drivers such as the kgdb_8250 module,
you can find the full kgdb patch set (which is not all in the mainline at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git;a=shortlog;h=kgdb_2.6.26

All that is merged in the 2.6.26 kernel is kgdb core, x86 arch specific
kgdb, and the kgdboc (kgdb over serial console) I/O module.

Cheers,
Jason.

Jason, any word yet on a netpoll (or whatever) based kgdb interface? Using
gdb over the network is much easier to do against several machines than
setting up a bunch of serial cables...
