kgdb project page
includes instructions for accessing KGDB CVS tree at sourceforge. Here is a quick
download guide for users of kgdb.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@kgdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kgdb login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@kgdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kgdb co .
These instructions will fetch latest kgdb development version in
current directory. The directory kgdb-2 contains KGDB for 2.6 kernels.
For further updates, go to the same directory and run cvs update
If you want to contribute to KGDB, you can send patches to kgdb bug report
mailing list (kgdb-bugreport @lists.sourceforge.net)
If you plan to contribute to kgdb regularly, send an email to KGDB
developers (KGDB-Developers)
to become a kgdb developer. This will give you checkin writes to
KGDB development tree.
Conventions to be followed for
checkins into kgdb tree.
Always compile your changes on i386, x86_64 and powerpc architectures.
Try to test them on as many of these architectures as possible.
Send an email to kgdb bugreport mailing list at least 2 days before
checking in any changes. If no-one finds any problems with your patch,
checkin your changes. Try to keep changes small, so that they can be
reviewed quickly.
Here is some information about building toolchains for powerpc and
x86_64 architectures.
powerpc
http://penguinppc.org/embedded/#toolchain provides instructions
for building powerpc toolchains. Select CONFIG_LOPEC (Motorola-LoPEC)
when compiling a kernel.
x86_64
http://www.sthoward.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html provides steps to compile
cross toolchains. These can be used to build x86_64 toolchains. Kernel
defaults with kgdb options configured in are fine to compile a kernel.
