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. Only i386, ia64, and sparc64 are supported for now.
.
This package includes a magicpoint presentation and demo; you'll need
the mgp package to view it.
.
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 officially supported kernel version at this date for kdb 2.1 is
2.4.17, but versions close enough may (or may not)
work. Please look at /use/share/doc/kernel-patch-kdb/README.Debian
for more info.
.
Also provided is kdb 1.5 for kernel 2.2.18, which appears to work with
2.2.19 as well.
.
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.
