similar to: Does anybody know how to connect to KDB from within R?

Is there any way (short of not patching it into the kernel) to turn KDB off on a given machine? There are some machines I do not want dropping into kdb when/if it oopses. Thanx, b.

I asked this a few weeks ago but didn''t get a response, so at the risk of being a nag, I''ll abbreviate and restate. I know there are other Xen specific debuggers, but I want to know if there''s any reason why SGI''s kdb, http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb, should not be included in a dom0 pv-ops kernel? While the patches apply cleanly and build, the result is that

Hi, I have been trying to debug Xen using kdb. However, I am unable to successfully boot dom0 after compiling and installing kdb. Software/hardware config: Base distribution - Debian Lenny (64-bit) on a Dell desktop (Optiplex 780) with a serial cable to another machine. Xen 4.0.1 (without kdb) works fine. Here are the steps I followed to set up Xen-unstable with kdb. 1. Cloned code from

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest in the xen hypervisor debugger, prev known as kdb. Btw. I''m gonna rename it to xdb for xen-debugger or hdb for hypervisor debugger. KDB is confusing people with linux kdb debugger and I often get emails where people think they need to apply linux kdb patch also... Anyways, attaching patch that is cleaned up of my debug code that I accidentally left in

I admit I was scepticle of this suggestion - but it actually seems to have worked. COmpiling a straight GENERIC kernel with KDB and DDB included do seem to have made my irq22 interrupt storms go away. Certainly I have spent some time trying to provoke the problem and not managed to make it read it's ugly head again. The thing is though, this doen't make me particularly happy - as I am

Fix the polling section of the hvc driver to use the global "last_hvc" variable, rather than the ttys.

There is a patch for xen linux 2.6.10 that enables kdb. It works with the xen 2.0.3 and xen-2.0-testing. (I intend to keep it current with 2.0-testing, but I can''t guarantee instant currency every time there are changes to the test branch.) The patch and a brief HOWTO are located at http://www.ncultra.org/xen/kdb/ kdb works with both privileged and unprivileged kernels. Mike --

hi, I am wondering if anybody is doing Xen or Dom0 debugging with gdb here. If yes, could you show me the procedure of doing that? Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven''t the technology we are using! _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi, kdb: to debug xen hypervisor, could also debug guests gdbsx: to debug PV/HVM linux guests The tree is : http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/debuggers.hg See README-dbg. You''ll need to setup serial access for kdb. Thanks, Mukesh > > Hi Dan, > > I''m currently using your version of ssplitd as it is. I haven''t tried > kdb. For some reason I

Hello All, I am running Linux 2.4.7-10, 2.4.18-4 and 2.4.19-pre9, I see the following oops quite often (mainly on 2.4.19-pre9 with kdb).

Hi, friends How to debug Xen? Sometimes, I am confused with sudden hardware restart or halt. I can not see any output to analyze the problems. Can you introduce some debug methods adopted in the Xen development? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

hi guys i just partially upgrade centos 3.4 to centos 4(using apt-get) and im having a problem removing kdb 1.08-10.2, kbd 1.12-2 is already installed and im trying to remove kdb 1.08 through apt-get and rpm -e here's what happened when i use apt-get: # apt-get remove kbd#1.08-10.2 Reading Package Lists...

(earlier I sent it as html by mistake). Hi, How can I get from C an object name used as a function argument? I have sample code in C that gives me access to the name of the function being called: SEXP xname(SEXP x) { const char *fun_name = CHAR(PRINTNAME(CAR(x))); x = CDR(x); const char *arg_name = isNull(TAG(x)) ? "" : CHAR(PRINTNAME(TAG(x)));

Hi R-users I think about some web service with stock charts and I plan use python as web framework with R as mathematical and chart engine. I use rpy to connect R with python. It works good. Is it good idea to use R as chart engine? Maybe it's better (faster) to use c/c++ plugin? Daniel

I'm running 9.2-RC4 on a handful of desktop and server machines (both i386 and amd64). I have seen three panics (all vm_page_unwire) on one of those systems only (amd64 server) during the past week. The first two panics were triggered when shutting down the ntpd daemon (a recent development snapshot version of ntpd: 4.2.7p387). Exiting a later release (p388) has not triggered the panic.

Working on the Dell R420 today, got most of it working, even the broadcom ethernet cards!

Hello, Now that kernel 2.2.20 is out with security fixes, I'd be interested in using it with ext3. The latest patch for 2.2.19, 0.0.7a, applies with some offset (both with and without kdb), and even compiles (without kdb), but I scarcely know what I am doing so haven't tried it yet. Could people in the know enlighten me on that point? I guess there is little chance for another ext3

Trying to migrate a 64bit PV guest with 64GB running medium to heavy load on xen 3.4.0, it is showing lot of soft lockups. The softlockups are causing dom0 reboot by the cluster FS. The hardware has 256GB and 32 CPUs. Looking into the hypervisor thru kdb, I see one cpu in sh_resync_all() while all other 31 appear spinning on the shadow_lock. I vaguely remember seeing some thread on this while

Currently, Xen does not support injecting an NMI to HVM guest OS. Adding this feature is necessary for those softwares which depend on NMI to function correctly, such as KDB and oprofile. The attached patch allows NMI to be injected to guest OS in NMIP capable platforms. It also enables to queue an NMI and then inject it as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: Haitao Shan
