Currently the xmon debugger is set only via kernel boot command-line. It's disabled by default, and can be enabled with "xmon=on" on the command-line. Also, xmon may be accessed via sysrq mechanism. But we cannot enable/disable xmon in runtime, it needs kernel reload. This patch introduces a debugfs entry for xmon, allowing user to query its current state and change it if desired. Basically, the "xmon" file to read from/write to is under the debugfs mount point, on powerpc directory. It's a simple attribute, value 0 meaning xmon is disabled and value 1 the opposite. Writing these states to the file will take immediate effect in the debugger. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G. Piccoli <gpiccoli@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
