If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
you also turn on the kernel config option
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
as well as in Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst. If
unsure, say N.

Share a serial console with kgdb. Sysrq-g must be used
to break in initially.
kgdb: add kgdb internal test suite This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch specific implementation. The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb primitives which should not be exported externally. The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb. The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb sending a response. The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts= line: When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core test types: A = Run all the core tests silently V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode You can also specify optional tests: N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds to test the HW NMI watchdog F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive. To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start argument as follows: kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork test for 100 forks, you could use: kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait The test suite can also be invoked at run time with: echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts Or as another example: echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or using these tests for the purpose of regression testing, several invocations are required. 1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait" ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use "kgdbts=V1N6F100 2) After the system boot run the basic test. echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts 3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1 while loops where n is the number of cpus you have in your system. The example below uses only two loops. ## This tests break points on sys_open while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c fg # and hit control-c ## This tests break points on do_fork while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

config KGDB_TESTS
bool "KGDB: internal test suite"
default n
help
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"
config KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT
bool "KGDB: Run tests on boot"
depends on KGDB_TESTS
default n
help
Run the kgdb tests on boot up automatically without the need
to pass in a kernel parameter
config KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING
string "KGDB: which internal kgdb tests to run"
depends on KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT
default "V1F100"
help
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.
config KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP
bool "KGDB: Allow debugging with traps in notifiers"
depends on X86 || MIPS
default n
help
This will add an extra call back to kgdb for the breakpoint
exception handler which will allow kgdb to step through a
notify handler.

KDB frontend for kernel
config KDB_DEFAULT_ENABLE
hex "KDB: Select kdb command functions to be enabled by default"
depends on KGDB_KDB
default 0x1
help
Specifiers which kdb commands are enabled by default. This may
be set to 1 or 0 to enable all commands or disable almost all
commands.
Alternatively the following bitmask applies:
0x0002 - allow arbitrary reads from memory and symbol lookup
0x0004 - allow arbitrary writes to memory
0x0008 - allow current register state to be inspected
0x0010 - allow current register state to be modified
0x0020 - allow passive inspection (backtrace, process list, lsmod)
0x0040 - allow flow control management (breakpoint, single step)
0x0080 - enable signalling of processes
0x0100 - allow machine to be rebooted
The config option merely sets the default at boot time. Both
issuing 'echo X > /sys/module/kdb/parameters/cmd_enable' or
setting with kdb.cmd_enable=X kernel command line option will
override the default settings.
config KDB_KEYBOARD
bool "KGDB_KDB: keyboard as input device"
depends on VT && KGDB_KDB

help
KDB can use a PS/2 type keyboard for an input device
config KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC
int "KDB: continue after catastrophic errors"
depends on KGDB_KDB
default "0"
help
This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
will happen until you type 'go'.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
kernel is still usable in this situation.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
If you are not sure, say 0.
