Hi!

I noticed the following text in net/Changes recently:-

BTW: Don't let the magic words 'kernel programming' worry you. Its like DOS
- you make a mistake you have to reboot. You do at least get dumps and a
kernel logger that is reliable. There is now a loadable module allowing
use of gdb on the kernel (no breakpoints though!). No magic involved.

Does anyone know where I can get this module. I don't want to have to compile
my kernel with '-g' appended to CFLAGS, but using gdb on the kernel would be
extremely useful to me.

TIA
