Subject: [git pull] kgdb 2.6.27 fixes 


Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree fixes for 2.6.27.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git for_linus


Summary: 

Several regressions have been fixed for which there was no automated test.
 - There is no requirement for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
 - When using CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kgdb silently failed to set
   breakpoints instead of reporting an error.
 - The ability to query for the thread list from the debugger
   would silently hang the kernel.

Jason Wessel (3):
      kgdb: remove the requirement for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
      kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write
      kgdb: fix gdb serial thread queries
