It is a common enough mistake for people to specify "kdb" when they meant to type "kbd" that the kgdboc can just accept both since they both mean the same thing anyway. Specifically it is for the case where you want kdb to be active on your graphics console + keyboard (where kbd was the original abbreviation for keyboard).
With this change kgdboc will now accept either to mean the same thing: kgdboc=kbd kgdboc=kdb Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <[email protected]> --- drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c b/drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c index 2b42a01..509e714 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c @@ -97,7 +97,8 @@ static void kgdboc_restore_input(void) static int kgdboc_register_kbd(char **cptr) { - if (strncmp(*cptr, "kbd", 3) == 0) { + if (strncmp(*cptr, "kbd", 3) == 0 || + strncmp(*cptr, "kdb", 3) == 0) { if (kdb_poll_idx < KDB_POLL_FUNC_MAX) { kdb_poll_funcs[kdb_poll_idx] = kdb_get_kbd_char; kdb_poll_idx++; -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
