This patch adds in the ability to compile the kgdb internal test string into the kernel so as to run the tests at boot without changing the kernel boot arguments. This patch also changes all the error paths to invoke WARN_ON(1) which will emit the line number of the file and dump the kernel stack when an error occurs. You can disable the tests in a kernel that is built this way using "kgdbts=" Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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

kernel using gdb. Documentation of kernel debugger is available
|
|
at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net as well as in DocBook form
|
|
in Documentation/DocBook/. If unsure, say N.

This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
|
|
kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
|
|
intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
|
|
as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
|
|
See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
|
|
the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
|
|
a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"

This is the command string to send the kgdb test suite on

boot. See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for detailed

information about other strings you could use beyond the

|
default of V1F100.
