Presently sysrq key for xmon('x') is registered during kernel init
irrespective of the value of kernel param 'xmon'. Thus xmon is enabled
even if 'xmon=off' is passed on the kernel command line. However this
doesn't enable the kernel debugger hooks needed for instruction or
data breakpoints. Thus when a break-point is hit with xmon=off a
kernel oops of the form below is reported:
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
< snip >
Trace/breakpoint trap
To fix this the patch checks and enables debugger hooks when an
instruction or data break-point is set via xmon console.

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.
