	  task could be handling an interrupt.
	* ps command shows the idle task on each cpu.
	* ps checks that the saved data for a cpu matches the process running on
	  that cpu and warns about stale saved data or no saved data at all.
	* Remove special cases for i386 backtrace from common code and simplify
	  common bt code.
	* Clean up kdb interaction with CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE.
	* Do not automatically repeat commands after the user typed 'q'.

	* Print ps output for each task when backtracing.
	* Bump to version v3.0 to reduce confusion between kdb and kernel
	  version numbers.

2000-09-16  Keith Owens  <kaos@melbourne.sgi.com>

	* Move to finer grained control over individual processors in kdb with
	per cpu kdb state.  Needed to allow ss[b] to only release one processor,
	previously ss[b] released all processors.  Also need to recover from
	errors inside kdb commands, e.g. oops in kdbm_pg code.

	* various:
	  Move global flags KDB_FLAG_SSB, KDB_FLAG_SUPRESS, KDB_FLAG_FAULT,
	  KDB_FLAG_SS, KDB_FLAG_SSBPT, kdb_active, to per cpu state and macros
	  KDB_STATE(xxx).
	  Replace kdb_flags & KDB_FLAG_xxx with KDB_FLAG(xxx).
	  Replace kdb_flags & KDB_DEBUG_xxx with KDB_DEBUG(xxx).
	  Replace specific tests with wrapper KDB_IS_RUNNING().

	possible.  Simplifies the code and makes it much more readable.

	codes.  Add more detailed command codes.

	command.  More detailed return codes for commands that affect
	processors.

	still executing the previous kdb event.  Removes a race window where a
	second event could enter kdb before the first had completely ended.

	* kdb/kdbmain.c (kdb): Document all the concurrency conditions and how
	kdb handles them.  ss[b] now releases only the current cpu.  Do not set
	breakpoints when releasing for ss[b].  Recover from errors in kdb
	commands.  Check that we have reliable longjmp data before using it.

	* various: Update return code documentation.

	* kdb/kdb_bp.c (kdb_ss): Separate ss and ssb return codes.

	* kdb/kdbsupport.c (kdb_ipi): Finer grained algorithm for deciding
	whether to call send a stop signal to a cpu.

	codes.  Reinstall delayed software breakpoints per cpu instead of
	globally.  Changed algorithm for handling ss[b].

	* arch/i386/kdb/kdba_bp.c (kdba_bp_trap): Match software breakpoints per
	cpu instead of globally.

	* include/linux/kdb.h: Bump version to kdb v1.5.
