This is only faintly tested. It’s mainly a syncup with
people..
. Initial support for kgdb-over-ethernet. Mainly from Robert
Walsh, based on work by San Mehat.
It’s pretty simple to use – read
Documentation/i386/kgdb/kgdbeth.txt carefully.
This uses the same ethernet driver hooks as netconsole, and is
designed to work alongside netconsole.
Currently it “supports” e100, eepro100, 3c59x, tlan and tulip.
Only e100 has been tested.
. More preparation for the larger dev_t, from Al.
. Dropped out Nick’s CPU scheduler changes, brought back Con’s
interactivity work.
We didn’t get many reports from this in -mm5. I’d prefer to
stick with Con’s patches because they’re tweaks, rather than
fundamental changes and they have had more testing and are more
widely understood.
But the performance regressions with specjbb and volanomark are
a problem. We need to understand this and get it fixed up.
. The dev_t changes broke the feral driver. The version in -mm
is fairly out of date anyway and I probably need to drop it or get
a fresh version from James..
