kgdb,debug_core: add the ability to control the reboot notifier
Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb. This patch adds the ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger and stop kernel execution before rebooting. It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the following: echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to manipulate the variable directly. Using KDB: mm kgdbreboot 1 Using gdb: set kgdbreboot=1 Reported-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
