what is the current state of in-kernel support for kgdb? in a
recent piece which i will not identify, i read:
"Complete support for KGDB is still not in the mainline kernel.org
kernel. You need to port KGDB to your chosen target or obtain an
embedded Linux distribution for your chosen architecture and platform
that contains KGDB support. Most commercial embedded Linux
distributions available today support KGDB."
Recently I have tried to debug kernel (via KGDB) on omap based beagleboard. And I found omap-linux has support for KGDB.
Not sure about the mainline tree though

it seems that the above conflates two issues -- the in-kernel
support, and the ability to get your hands on the appropriate
cross-compiled version of kgdb.
would someone like to clarify the above? mulyadi? :-)
