[PATCH 4/7] x86,early dr regs,kgdb: Allow kernel debugger early dr register access
If the kernel debugger was configured, attached and started with kgdbwait, the hardware breakpoint registers should get restored by the kgdb code which is managing the dr registers.

[PATCH 20/25] kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a tasklet
Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe. The breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the debugger which will have a different function scope than the current execution path where it might not be safe to have... 18 May 2010 22:31

[PATCH 11/25] sh,sh-sci: Use NO_POLL_CHAR in the SCIF polled console code
The sci_poll_get_char() needs to return immediately if there is no input from the chip to process, and must return a value of NO_POLL_CHAR. This allows kgdboc to process multiple polled devices while kgdb is active. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel(a)windriver.com> Acked-by: Paul Mundt <lethal(a)linux-sh... 18 May 2010 22:31

[PATCH 5/7] kgdboc: Add ekgdboc for early use of the kernel debugger
The ekgdboc= differs from kgdboc= in that you can begin debuggin as soon as the exceptions are setup and the kgdb I/O driver is available, instead of waiting until the tty subsystem is available.
