+ support cross-debugging of vmcores</url>
+ </links>
+
+ <body>
+ <p>Support for following children after forks for &os; was implemented and
+ merged upstream to GDB's master branch, and was included in GDB
+ 7.10.</p>
+
+ <p>Work has continued on porting <tt>kgdb</tt> to newer
+ <tt>gdb</tt>. The amd64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64
+ backends have all been ported and are now available via a new
+ <tt>KGDB</tt> option in the devel/gdb port.</p>
+
+ <p>The MD backends for libkvm have been rewritten to support
+ cross-debugging crashdumps, and the <tt>kgdb</tt> targets for
+ amd64 and i386 have been reworked to support cross-debugging.
+ Both i386 and amd64 kgdb binaries have been able to cross-debug
+ the other architecture's vmcores with these changes. This
+ changeset for libkvm is not yet in the tree, but is awaiting more
+ testing.</p>
+ </body>
+
+ <help>
+ <task>
+ <p>Test the libkvm changes on platforms other than amd64, i386,
+ and powerpc64.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>Figure out why the powerpc kgdb targets are not able to unwind
+ the stack past the initial frame.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>Add support for more platforms (arm, mips, aarch64) to
+ upstream gdb for both userland and kgdb.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>Write a new 1:1-only thread target for &os; that can be
+ sent upstream.</p>
+ </task>
+
