Subject: linux-next: kgdb tree build failure

Hi Jason,

Today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig) failed like this:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `drm_fb_kdb_enter':
drm_fb_helper.c:(.text+0x6567a): undefined reference to `kgdb_active'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `drm_fb_helper_free':
(.text+0x65ec7): undefined reference to `dbg_kms_console_ops_unregister'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe':
(.text+0x6645d): undefined reference to `dbg_kms_console_ops_register'

Clearly, the kgdb patches need some more testing. Please remove them
from linux-next until that is done.

All the kdb patches were dropped from kgdb-next / linux-next. All the
embedded type configs build and boot just fine. The root of the
problem was that there was a gap in testing all the various combinations
where you can builds some things as a module or somethings as a built in.

The error you reported is already fixed, but the code base will not be
resubmitted until a new round of build and boot tests are completed.

Thanks,
Jason.

Thanks for that.
