Subject: [patch 15/16] Allow KGDB to work well with loaded modules
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 09:11:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <resend.15.2982005.trini@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <resend.14.2982005.trini@kernel.crashing.org>


This allows for KGDB to better deal with autoloaded modules.  The way this
works, requires a patch to GDB.  This patch can be found at
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/kgdb/gdb-6.3-kgdb-module-notification.patch

The way this works is that the solib-search-path must contain the location of
any module to be debugged, and then when a module is loaded GDB acts like a
shared library has been loaded now, and can be used that way.
