10 If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
11 kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
12 you also turn on the kernel config option
13 CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
14 backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
15 kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
16 as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/. If

35 This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
36 kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
37 intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
38 as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
39 See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
40 the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot

87 help
88 This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
89 catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
90 When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
91 will happen until you type 'go'.
92 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
93 you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
94 'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
95 kernel is still usable in this situation.
96 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1. KDB tries to continue.
97 No guarantees that the kernel is still usable in this situation.
98 CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2. KDB forces a reboot.
99 If you are not sure, say 0.
