Subject: [PATCH 4/4] invoke kgdb via magic sysrq
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:34:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1200436494.4092.39.camel@bx740> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1200436139.4092.30.camel@bx740>

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@am.sony.com>

Add hooks so that the host can connect to KGDB or asynchronously invoke an
already connected KGDB via a magic sysrq.  This should work for most MIPS
targets that support KGDB, though it has only been tested on the Toshiba
RBTX4927.  This can be useful to invoke an already connected KGDB for some
types of system hang.  It also allows normally booting without connecting
to KGDB, then later connecting to KGDB if kernel debugging is desired.

This functionality exists for PowerPC and sh.
