Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:47:42 -0600 From: jmerkey@...fmountaingroup.com To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] mdb: Merkey's Linux Kernel Debugger 2.6.27-rc5 released Added local APIC and IOAPIC register support. Removed all volatile declarations from the code. Instrumented barrier() compiler directives. streamlined mdb-list parser. Added hard NMI interrupt capability to generate a hard NMI to a target processor for debugging a hung processor via the APIC ASSERT_INT command. ISSUES: remote read of another processors local APIC registers has been instrumented, but I am having problems with it working on all systems. I have tried both physical and logical command modes and I note that smptboot.c also relies on it for error reporting. At present, it is insufficiently tested and some other eyes and testing would be helpful.
