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

Share a serial console with kgdb. Sysrq-g must be used
to break in initially.

help
This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"

Run the kgdb tests on boot up automatically without the need
to pass in a kernel parameter

help
This is the command string to send the kgdb test suite on
boot. See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for detailed
information about other strings you could use beyond the
default of V1F100.

help
This will add an extra call back to kgdb for the breakpoint
exception handler on which will will allow kgdb to step
through a notify handler.
