BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER if they have a serial console (most do). A burst of
serial line noise (such as unplugging a usb serial adapter) can look like
a break and drop a working system into the debugger. The alt break sequence
(<CR>~^B) works fine on both serial and non-serial consoles.
each of the existing kernel configs. This gives a place to put config
that applies to the entire arch.
Add the ARM_NEW_PMAP option to std.armv6. This is working well in early
testing and it's time for wide exposure, but it's still nice to be able
to fall back to the old implementation for testing when a problem comes
along. Eventually the option and the old implementation will go away.
The opportunity now exists to move a whole lot of boilerplate from all the
arm kernel config files into std.arm*, but that's a commit for another day.
These are left over from long ago when there was no way to load modules
on early armv6 platforms, and when there was a build problem with ahc
that has long since been fixed, and they just keep getting copy-pasted
into new configs.
#NO_UNIVERSE. Many of these config files are important examples, but
add little to no regresive value to the intended purpose of
UNIVERSE. We now build over 120 kernels during universe. There's
really little to no value to this over building say 60 or even 30 of
them (either is still a way too big number). This is especially true
for kernels that are nothing more than including a common base and
adding a static DTB file. Start by pruning 1/3 of the arm kernels that
add little regresion value.
