The guys who did KGDB for MIPS did a great job, but it looks like it's hard to keep that code up to date and working with kernel changes and newer versions of gdb. At least that's been my experience. In-kernel debuggers is like saying "Physician heal thyself." or asking yourself to be objective. -Steve |
