[RFC 5/5] serial: Remove KGDB NMI serial driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This driver provided a special ttyNMI0 port to enable NMI debugging
capabilities for kgdb but it remained in silos with the serial
core/drivers which made it a bit odd to enable using serial device
interrupt and hence remained unused.

But now with the serial core/drivers becoming NMI aware which in turn
provides NMI debugging capabilities via magic sysrq, there is no specific
reason to keep this special driver. So remove it instead.

-	  This special driver allows you to temporary use NMI debugger port
-	  as a normal console (assuming that the port is attached to KGDB).
-
-	  Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always
-	  able to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33).
-	  This is because this console driver processes the input in NMI
-	  context, and thus is able to intercept the magic sequence.
-
-	  Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling
-	  communication methods, for things like PPP you still must fully
-	  detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and
-	  use raw console.
