  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"

  98           setting with kdb.cmd_enable=X kernel command line option will

 113           This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
 114           catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.

 116           will happen until you type 'go'.

 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.
