Hello All,
I seem to vaguely remember some conversations about this in the past, but I
can't find anything. I have a question concerning the use of ddd (GDB) on
SMP systems.
If I set a breakpoint in my code, hit the breakpoint, look at a few locals
and then continue, 3 out of 4 times my target system "dies" in a bottom half
synchronization handler. It's almost as if when I hit my break, GDB is only
stoping the processor running my code and the other proc continues to run.
If I rebuild my kernel without SMP support, all is fine and I can break and
examine all I want. Also, if I use printk's in the SMP kernel, all is fine
and I do not encounter the failure.
Are there any "tricks" to using GDB with SMP kernels?
Thanks!
