Documentation: kgdboc: Document new kgdboc_earlycon parameter

2020-06-02T14:15:45+00:00

The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter. Document it. Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc". See that patch for more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc" and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works if your tty driver is already ready). The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

docs: disable KASLR when debugging kernel

2017-07-17T20:40:40+00:00

commit 6807c84652b0 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for kernel debugging. Signed-off-by: Zhouyi Zhou Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

kgdb.rst: Adjust ReST markups

2017-05-16T11:44:04+00:00

The automatic conversion didn't work too well for this file. It added weird html blocks inside it, and did some weird things for literals. Manually fix it, in order to present a nice display at html/pdf outputs. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
