Subject: [PATCH] debug_core: Add warn message for CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enable
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:50:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316677848-10193-1-git-send-email-libfetion@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Dongdong Deng <libfetion@gmail.com>
The CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will limit KGDB/KDB's set breakpoint function,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_KGDB could survive together.
Thus most of new user of KGDB/KDB get the set_breakpoint problem
caused by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, and them have to send mail to
kgdb/kdb's mail-list for help.
This patch just adds an extra printk message to warn above case,
in order to provide some useful diagnostics to kgdb/kdb user.
