Message-ID: <20140718225049.GA11937@mew.guest.dropbox.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Don't break into kgdb when userspace executes the kernel break instructions (KGDB_BREAKINST and KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK). The kernel will oops in kgdb_handle_exception.
