Description: Builtin kernel debugger.
This package contains a patch to the Linux kernel, which provides a
means of examining kernel memory and data structures while the system
is operational.
.
Additional commands may be easily added to format and display
essential system data structures given an identifier or address of the
data structure.
.
Current command set allows complete control of kernel operations
including single-stepping a processor, stopping upon execution of a
specific instruction, stopping upon access (or modification) of a
specific virtual memory location, stopping upon access to a register
in the input-output address space, stack tracebacks for the current
active task as well as for all other tasks (by process id),
instruction disassembly, et. al.
.
The BFD headers from the binutils-dev package are required to compile
a kdb-enabled kernel.
.
Version 6.23 of the kernel-package package has a bug preventing correct
application of this patch.
