[Xen-devel] [Backport request][pv-ops] kgdb on recent version of gdb
hi, Current pv-ops kernel is unable to use kgdb with a higher version of gdb. (7.2?) The issue has been solved in the upstream kernel, however this remains unsolved in the next-2.6.32 tree. Here is the commit, on the upstream linux tree: fb82c0ff27b2c40c6f7a3d1a94cafb154591fa80 -- 潘震皓, Frank Pan Computer Science and Technology Tsinghua University _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Do you know if it has been submitted as a stable kernel patch?

Do you know if it has been submitted as a stable kernel patch?Yes, it''s also in the v2.6.38 tag of upstream. That means stable, right? -- 潘震皓, Frank Pan Computer Science and Technology Tsinghua University _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''ve found that inside the 2.6.38.y stable tree, how about that? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git;a=commit;h=fb82c0ff27b2c40c6f7a3d1a94cafb154591fa80 On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 1:53 AM, Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> wrote:> On 03/21/2011 05:08 PM, Frank Pan wrote: >>> I''d prefer to pick this up out of stable/longterm rather than just graft >>> it in as-is.

You can request that by mailing stable@kernel.org and the original patch author(s) and suggesting that that changeset is backported to 2.6.32.x. The fact that it has gone into 2.6.38.y suggests it should be a reasonably easy ack to obtain.
