From b4b8ac524d9b6ed7229017145afa1d7afbea4a48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:33:38 -0600 Subject: kgdb: fix optional arch functions and probe_kernel_* Fix two regressions dealing with the kgdb core. 1) kgdb_skipexception and kgdb_post_primary_code are optional functions that are only required on archs that need special exception fixups. 2) The kernel address space scope must be set on any probe_kernel_* function or archs such as ARCH=arm will not allow access to the kernel memory space. As an example, it is required to allow the full kernel address space is when you the kernel debugger to inspect a system call.
