Linux Kernel Developers Considering Removal Of KGDB Debugging Functionality phoronix.com

Intel Linux developer Peter Zijlstra has proposed removing KGDB, the Linux kernel’s GDB-based debugging feature, saying it causes problems with breakpoints, timekeeping and watchdogs and is unnecessary with QEMU’s GDB server. Developers have also suggested disabling KGDB through Kconfig first; no removal decision is reported.
