One of the benefits of the (very old, like pre-2.6.25) kgdb8250 driver
was that it would both allow you to ^C from gdb to stop the running
kernel (no need to use the SysRq-g) and also it would allow all printk's
to be delivered to the remote gdb process. Last time I tried the kgdboc
driver (probably about 2.6.28) it didn't have either of these features.
Has that changed more recently? If so, where and when?
Thanks,
