[Backport request][pv-ops] kgdb on recent version of gdb

[Backport request][pv-ops] kgdb on recent version of gdb

[Frank Pan]

hi,

Current pv-ops kernel is unable to use kgdb with a higher version of gdb. (7.2?)
The issue has been solved in the upstream kernel, however this remains
unsolved in the next-2.6.32 tree.

Here is the commit, on the upstream linux tree:

fb82c0ff27b2c40c6f7a3d1a94cafb154591fa80

I'd prefer to pick this up out of stable/longterm rather than just graft
it in as-is.  Do you know if it has been submitted as a stable kernel patch?

Yes, it's also in the v2.6.38 tag of upstream.
That means stable, right?

No, "stable" in the sense of being sent to stable@kernel.org for
application to older maintained kernels (including 2.6.32).

I've found that inside the 2.6.38.y stable tree, how about that?

It needs to be in the 2.6.32.y "longterm" tree.

You can request that by mailing stable@kernel.org and the original patch
author(s) and suggesting that that changeset is backported to 2.6.32.x.

The fact that it has gone into 2.6.38.y suggests it should be a
reasonably easy ack to obtain.
