Even though gdb and kgdb may not be removed for 12.0 on some architectures,
the notice is unconditional as these tools will likely be removed at some
point in the future when adequate replacements are available (gdb in ports
or lldb in base).

Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

Implement the -a option to bump the annotation_level. This improves
the Emacs gud behaviour. You can now supply the following function
(defun gud-gdb-massage-args (file args) (cons "-a" args))
(e.g. by evaluating it from the *scratch* buffer) and get the normal
jump to the source window when browsing the stack.
We should probably eventually supply our own kgdb submode to gud.el.

with the currently running kernel image. Otherwise, one of -c, -n or
-r is expected for working on a particular core file (-c), working
on a saved dump (-n) or working remotely (-r). When working on a
saved dump, a kernel may be omitted.
For a remote debugging session (-r), kgdb(1) will use the specified
device.

is basicly a shell on top of libgdb that knows about kernel threads,
kernel modules and kvm(3). As the word "beginnings" implies, not
all of the features have been implemented yet. The tool is useful
and I'd like feedback on the taken route.
The simplest way to debug a kernel core file is:
kgdb -n 0
This opens /var/crash/vmcore.0 with the corresponding kernel in
the object directory (kernel.debug is used if it exists).
Typical things that need to be added are:
o Auto loading of kernel modules,
o Handling of trapframes so that backtraces can be taken across
them,
o Some fancy commands to extract useful information out of a core
file,
o Various (probably many) other things.
