CONFIG_REMOTE_DEBUG: Remote GDB kernel debugging

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_REMOTE_DEBUG has multiple definitions:

Remote GDB kernel debugging found in arch/mips64/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_REMOTE_DEBUG:

• prompt: Remote GDB kernel debugging
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/mips64/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.5.45–2.5.73

Help text

If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel 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.
