    x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hook · f503b5ae
    Jason Wessel authored
    The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
    notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is
    to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
    handler.
    
    Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
    need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
    option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.
