  10          If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
  11          kernel using gdb.  It is recommended but not required, that
  12          you also turn on the kernel config option
  13          CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
  14          backtraces in the external debugger.  Documentation of
  15          kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
  16          as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/.  If
  17          unsure, say N.

  35          This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
  36          kgdb's internal functions.  This kgdb I/O module is
  37          intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
  38          as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
  39          See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
  40          the tests.  The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
  41          a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"

  90            0x0010 - allow current register state to be modified
  91            0x0020 - allow passive inspection (backtrace, process list, lsmod)
  92            0x0040 - allow flow control management (breakpoint, single step)

  94            0x0100 - allow machine to be rebooted

  96          The config option merely sets the default at boot time. Both
  97          issuing 'echo X > /sys/module/kdb/parameters/cmd_enable' or
  98          setting with kdb.cmd_enable=X kernel command line option will
  99          override the default settings.

 113          This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
 114          catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
 115          When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
 116          will happen until you type 'go'.
 117          CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
 118          you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
 119          'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
 120          kernel is still usable in this situation.
 121          CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
 122          No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
 123          CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
 124          If you are not sure, say 0.
