[  351.059427] Failed on adding breakpoints (29248):


Setup Details

a) System details
X86 64 bit
kernel version: 3.10.26

b) Configuration
FTRACE & KGDB is enabled
- using kgdb over console ( KGDBOC )

c) Steps to reproduce
Boot kernel, it will wait for kgdboc to connect
start gdb, connect to target and set breakpoint with break command,
and continue.
Kernel will boot with above mentions oops, resulting gdb to wait
forever for breakpoint.

d) Observation: If we disable CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST,
breakpoint(kgdboc) is working fine.

Could you please let me know if anyone came accross this issue ?
