[PATCH 0/15] kgdb,kdb: proposed merge set for 2.6.36

From: Jason Wessel
Date: Fri Jul 30 2010 - 15:21:30 EST


These are the patches for kgdb we have so far which have passed
regression testing during the 2.6.35 cycle.

The key new features here are:

* ftdump command for kdb
- dumps the ftrace buffer for all cpus or an indivdual cpu
* Individual register read / read in kdb (x86, mips, arm)
* Generic plumbing for gdb serial register packets 'p' and 'P'
- implmentations for x86, mips and arm
* A new console poll driver for the sunhv serial console (sparc)
* ARM kgdb makes use of die notifiers
* Optimize gdbserial response packets contaning "thread:"

The remainders of the patches contain miscelaenous cleanups.
optimation for the gdb serial packets which contain the "thread:"

Jason.
