[RFC PATCH 1/3] config: provide a fragment to enable gdb for qemu

From: Anders Roxell
Date: Thu Dec 13 2018 - 07:29:53 EST


Adding a fragment to make it easier to know what options is needed to
build a kernel to get the that you can debug in qemu.

First you need to start qemu with flags '-s -S' and then connect with
gdb like below:
$ gdb \
./obj-dir/vmlinux -iex 'add-auto-load-safe-path \
./obj-dir' -ex 'target remote localhost:1234'
