Machine: shark
>Description:
Running the testsuite for GDB crashes the kernel. Trying to get into
ddb caused the console screen to fill with
"Illegal instruction in kernel"
messages.
This also happens on a cats machine, so I suspect its tickling a
generic ARM kernel bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
Check out the gdb+dejagnu from sources.redhat.com.
Configure and build (no need to install) the debugger.
Run the testsuite (gmake check-gdb).
>Fix:
Unknown.
