-ETIMEDOUT waiting for the kdgb folk to comment. Ppeople have reported
that this patch is required for kgdb to work correctly on arm64, so I'm
happy to merge it.

I'm happy, too.

I'll keep an eye out and FWIW see if I can throw in a review. I'm not
really one of "kgdb folk" but did examine it fairly deeply in the early
stages of the FIQ/NMI work (and which has since stopped focussing on kgdb).

I have some equally elderly, albeit rather less critical, kdb patches
that I should have pushed harder for so I'm sympathetic here ;-)


Hey, if you do happen to have something, why not send it along. I just asked the linux-next folks to re-activate the kgdb-next branch so that merges can start taking place again. It appears that the final merge request never even went through from linux-next as I just rebased it and there was a patch in there from Daniel dating back to over a year ago.

If there is work out there that needs merging and reviews lets get it done. I had been kind of stuck in time on what seems like the stone age 3.14 kernel projects until recently, but jumped back into mainline development about a month ago.

I have no objection to merging the ARM64 single step patch and have comments in a separate mail that follows with respect to the patch.


Cheers,
Jason.
