Deprecate the MN10300 arch's gdbstub in favour of KGDB, which is more capable in some areas (such as SMP) and almost as capable in others (it's I/O is not as decoupled and it can't start as early). gdbstub will be removed in a later version when we're satisfied with KGDB's working.

If you say Y here the kernel will execute a list of misaligned memory

accesses to make sure the misalignment handler deals them with

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
|
|
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|
|
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
|

If in doubt, say "N".

If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel
|
|
using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several
|
|
megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB
|
|
RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel
|
|
hackers. If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
This is deprecated in favour of KGDB and will be removed in a later
|
|
version.

Allow GDB stub to perform software single-stepping through the

it uses temporary breakpoints to emulate single-stepping.
