docs: Add debugging guide for the media subsystem2024-11-22T17:48:12+00:00Sebastian Frickesebastian.fricke@collabora.com2024-11-18T07:03:51+00:00urn:sha1:83a474c11e8cb59e230a43365cb42fa00d3bddaa
Provide a guide for developers on how to debug code with a focus on the
media subsystem. This document aims to provide a rough overview over the
possibilities and a rational to help choosing the right tool for the
given circumstances.

docs: Add debugging section to process2024-11-22T17:48:12+00:00Sebastian Frickesebastian.fricke@collabora.com2024-11-18T07:03:50+00:00urn:sha1:a037699da0a17e99832875a936b5a6285d8de849
This idea was formed after noticing that new developers experience
certain difficulty to navigate within the multitude of different
debugging options in the Kernel and while there often is good
documentation for the tools, the developer has to know first that they
exist and where to find them.
Add a general debugging section to the Kernel documentation, as an
easily locatable entry point to other documentation and as a general
guideline for the topic.
