I have put a version of KGDB for x86 RT kernels here:

The common_kgdb_cfi_.... stuff creates debug records for entry.S and friends so that you can "bt" through them. Apply in this order: Ingo's patch kgdb-ga-rt.patch common_kgdb_cfi_annotations.patch

This is, more or less, the same kgdb that is in Andrew's mm tree changed to fix the RT issues.


great. For the time being i wont add it to the -RT tree (because KGDB is not destined for upstream merging it seems), but it sure is a useful development/debugging add-on.

I agree on not adding it. Tom Rini is working on a version the Andrew seems inclined to merge. When that happens I will most likely put together enhancements to it to bring it up to what this one does. Meanwhile I am trying to capture some of Tom's changes in this one. Also, it is MUCH easier for me to maintain as a seperate patch.
