<DIV><FONT size=1>I'm attempting to use kdb 1.5 on 2.2.18 (via the patch
kdb-v1_5-2_2_18.gz).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>I'd like to use this in conjunction with the NMI watchdog
timer, but it appears that some of the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>code supporting the NMI watchdog timer may not have been
backported from 2.4 as part of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>this patch. For example CONFIG_UP_NMI_WATCHDOG is used
in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>but the full support for the UP NMI watchdog (generating
watchdog events based on the performance</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>counters) doesn't appear to be included in the patch.
Also, some of the code in traps.c is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>conditionally compiled based on CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC_KAO but
this doesn't appear to be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>a valid config option. Also, the /proc NMI watchdog
support appears to be missing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>Should I assume that the NMI watchdog feature isn't supported
with the backport to 2.2, or am I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>missing something? I'm aware that there is a separate
NMI watchdog patch for 2.2 kernels, but I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>don't believe this includes the UP support and it would need
to be integrated with kdb.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
