kernel: Fix files explicitly needing EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure

2011-10-31T23:30:05Z

These files were getting via an implicit non-obvious path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers for no reason. Give them the lightweight header that just contains the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

kdb,kgdb: Allow arbitrary kgdb magic knock sequences

2011-08-01T18:23:59Z

The first packet that gdb sends when the kernel is in kdb mode seems to change with every release of gdb. Instead of continuing to add many different gdb packets, change kdb to automatically look for any thing that looks like a gdb packet. Example 1 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $D#44+ Example 2 cold start test: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger $3#33 The second one should re-enter kdb's shell right away and is purely a test.

kdb: Remove all references to DOING_KGDB2

2011-08-01T18:23:59Z

The DOING_KGDB2 was originally a state variable for one of the two ways to automatically transition from kdb to kgdb. Purge all these variables and just use one single state for the transition. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -> gdb

2011-08-01T18:23:59Z

When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip. When gdb initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections. Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur on the initial connect. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: cleanup unused variables missed in the original kdb merge

2011-08-01T18:23:58Z

The BTARGS and BTSYMARG variables do not have any function in the mainline version of kdb. Reported-by: Tim Bird Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: code cleanup to use macro instead of value

2011-03-25T21:37:30Z

It's better to use macro KDB_BASE_CMD_MAX instead of 50 Signed-off-by: Jovi Zhang Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

Merge branch 'master' into for-next

2010-12-22T17:57:02Z

Conflicts: MAINTAINERS arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm24xx.c drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_fcpim.c Needed to update to apply fixes for which the old branch was too outdated.

kdb: fix crash when KDB_BASE_CMD_MAX is exceeded

2010-11-17T19:54:57Z

When the number of dyanmic kdb commands exceeds KDB_BASE_CMD_MAX, the kernel will fault. Signed-off-by: Jovi Zhang Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel
