16 If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the

17 kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
18 you also turn on the kernel config option
19 CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
20 backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
21 kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
08c76a2f 22 as well as in Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst. If
5f5ddfb3 23 unsure, say N.

33 help
34 If set to Y the debug core will use the kprobe blocklist to
35 identify symbols where it is unsafe to set breakpoints.
36 In particular this disallows instrumentation of functions
37 called during debug trap handling and thus makes it very
38 difficult to inadvertently provoke recursive trap handling.

56 This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
57 kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
58 intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
59 as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
60 See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
61 the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot

135 This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
136 catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
137 When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
138 will happen until you type 'go'.
139 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
140 you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
141 'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
142 kernel is still usable in this situation.
143 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
144 No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
145 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.

148config ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG
149 bool
150 default n
151 help
152 If an architecture can definitely handle entering the debugger
153 when early_param's are parsed then it select this config.
154 Otherwise, if "kgdbwait" is passed on the kernel command line it
155 won't actually be processed until dbg_late_init() just after the
156 call to kgdb_arch_late() is made.
157
158 NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will
159 still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes
160 when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the
161 "kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init(). If you get a
162 crash and try to drop into kgdb somewhere between these two
163 places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb
164 depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted.
