Some code added to the debug_core module had KDB dependencies

Hm, the KGDB_KDB_REASON_SYSTEM_NMI definition is a bit ugly. I still think
there are layering violations here and just kludging it around doesn't
solve it - a helper function that keeps kgdb details to the kgdb code
would.

Anyway, if Jason is fine with this solution and upholds his Acked-by then
I'll merge this into the first patch and apply the two patches.

Thanks,

Ingo

Would you prefer a simple #ifdef CONFIG_KGDB_KDB around the assignment?

An #ifdef doesn't solve the layering violation!

kernel/debug/debug_core.c didn't have any serious use of #ifdef
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB before (it used it to flavor a few printks) and I'm not
convinced it needs one for this feature either.

So if that whole chunk is kdb dependent, why not shuffle that into a
nicely named function and host it somewhere appropriate in
kernel/debug/kdb/? That function would turn into an empty inline function
in the !CONFIG_KGDB_KDB case.

But ... it's up to Jason really whether he wants to abstract that piece of
code out, I'm just kibitzing here really.

Thanks,

Ingo

If I moved it to KDB then we would lose the capability to enter KGDB
mode and the gdb_stub functionality. The #ifdef could have a comment
to this effect?

Another option would be to pass the code in as the caller knows if KDB
is defined or not?

No, this really suggests that there's something else broken around there.

Removing #ifdefs around non-trivial code and architecting it properly
really makes things more reviewable, easier to understand, better
specified and generally less bug prone. So adding an #ifdef around a pair
of printk()s is probably OK - anything that is longer than a line probably
deserves abstracted out.

Thanks,
