Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree for 2.6.33
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git for_linus
Summary:
The patches in this series have been in linux-next and thoroughly tested over the last two kernel cycles. There are no new features here, everything is just a fix against a problem found in the use of kgdb.
The perf event API merge has caused kgdb's HW breakpoint support to cease working. This makes the kgdb test suite fail and hang the kernel in most cases (you would see this with a allyesconfig). I have an experimental patch which I will work with the perf event maintainers to repair the kgdb hw breakpoint support during the 2.6.33 cycle.
Thanks, Jason.
