2012-02-26 Thread Andrei Warkentin
This is tentative patch set I am sending for feedback. It implements a network I/O backend for KDB/KGDB, the kernel debugger. Very similar to netconsole, on which it is based, but with a crucial difference - netkgdb is designed to accept connections from any hosts, i.e. it is not necessary to spec

[Kgdb-bugreport] [PATCH 2/2] KDB: Overide LINES for custom commands.

2012-02-26 Thread Andrei Warkentin
Commands like dumpall define some maximum LINES, which as a default might make sense, when run over serial connection. However, for vga/kbd use, you want to have the ability to override any custom command's attempt to set LINES, otherwise you'll never see most of the output. This adds a '-b' opti
