# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


# 215082 10-Nov-2010 imp

Complete the integration of tbemd branch into head.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).

TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.

Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.

UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.


# 175645 24-Jan-2008 jhb

Move the code for working with kld's out into its own file.


# 142154 20-Feb-2005 kan

Restore r1.2 change to use TARGET_ARCH.

Attempt to make kgdb little more useful and easy to use. Properly initialize
it to recognise what ABI to use on amd64 (and possibly others) platform.
Display PID and process name as a part of the 'info threads' output, TIDs
alone are too confusing. Introduce new commmands 'tid <tid>' and 'proc <pid>'
to accompany gdb's default 'thread <thread num>' to make the task of switching
between different contexts easier.


# 141911 14-Feb-2005 obrien

Use the system gnuregex library vs. building GNU regex bits into libiberty
and using them.

Makefile (only) changes to allow building a cross debugger.

s/MACHINE_ARCH/TARGET_ARCH/. We use TARGET_ARCH to pick the MD files
for libgdb and should do so here as well.


# 132624 25-Jul-2004 marcel

Add the beginnings of kernel debugging support. the kgdb(1) tool
is basicly a shell on top of libgdb that knows about kernel threads,
kernel modules and kvm(3). As the word "beginnings" implies, not
all of the features have been implemented yet. The tool is useful
and I'd like feedback on the taken route.

The simplest way to debug a kernel core file is:
kgdb -n 0

This opens /var/crash/vmcore.0 with the corresponding kernel in
the object directory (kernel.debug is used if it exists).

Typical things that need to be added are:
o Auto loading of kernel modules,
o Handling of trapframes so that backtraces can be taken across
them,
o Some fancy commands to extract useful information out of a core
file,
o Various (probably many) other things.
