It implements gdb remote protocol to talk with a host gdb during the debug session. The implementation is divided in three layers: 1 - The top layer that is responsible for the gdb remote protocol. 2 - An architecture specific layer responsible to write/read registers, set breakpoints, handle exceptions, ... 3 - A transport layer to be used to communicate with the host The communication with GDB in the host is synchronous and the systems stops execution waiting for instructions and return its execution after a "continue" or "step" command. The protocol has an exception that is when the host sends a packet to cause an interruption, usually triggered by a Ctrl-C. This implementation ignores this instruction though. This initial work supports only X86 using uart as backend. Signed-off-by: Flavio Ceolin <flavio.ceolin@intel.com>

The thread analysis takes quite a long time.

Every thread it finds is analyzed word by word to find any that

Normally while thread are analyzed the k_thread_foreach function

is used.

While this is a safe run from the thread list perspective it may lock

the interrupts for a long time - long enough to disconnect when

Setting this flag will force thread analyzer to use

the k_thread_foreach_unlocked function.

Periodically check that this value is still present and kill the

places:

1) Upon any context switch for the outgoing thread

2) Any hardware interrupt that doesn't context switch, the check is

performed for the interrupted thread

3) When a thread returns from its entry point

4) When a thread calls k_yield() but doesn't context switch

Omitting the frame pointer prevents the compiler from putting the stack

frame pointer into a register. Saves a few instructions in function
|
|
prologues/epilogues and frees up a register for general-purpose use,
|
|
which can provide good performance improvements on register-constrained
|
|
architectures like x86. On some architectures (including x86) omitting
|
|
frame pointers impedes debugging as local variables are harder to

locate. At -O1 and above gcc will enable -fomit-frame-pointer
|
|
automatically but only if the architecture does not require if for
|
|
effective debugging.

Choose Y for best performance. On some architectures (including x86)

this will favor code size and performance over debugability.

Choose N in you wish to retain the frame pointer. This option may

|
be useful if your application uses runtime backtracing and does not

support parsing unwind tables.

If unsure, disable OVERRIDE_FRAME_POINTER_DEFAULT to allow the compiler

to adopt sensible defaults for your architecture.
