I have put Doug Kilpatrick's updated 2.2 kernel series kgdb patch on
oss.sgi.com. It can be downloaded from
ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/kgdb/download/
The filename is kgdb_2.2.14-rh62.diff. There is the caveat that I have not
tested it yet, but Doug says that he hasn't had any problems using it with
a 2.2.14-5 series kernel from RedHat 6.2.
The following is a list of changes this patch includes sent out by Doug a few
weeks back:
Added the ability to attach the debugger from a SysRq key ('g').
Since the key-up's Will happen while the debugger is being
attached, this will leave the keyboard in a bit of a messed up
state. Press and release SysRq to re-sync things.
Integrated some changes from Tigran Aivazian from a similar
patch against 2.2.6 that seemed to be missing and needed. This
includes a breakpoint() in mm/fault.c, some more debugging
information, and some changes to the register information output.
It appears putDebugChar() changed signatures somewhere along the
line. Fixed.
Fixed parcing of the init line to set gdbttyS= and gdbbaud=
options.
