kernel message buffer/log. Its off by default and can be switched on in the
kernel configuration on build time, be set as a variable in ddb and be set
using sysctl.
This adds the sysctl value
ddb.tee_msgbuf = 0
by default.
The functionality is especially added and aimed for developers who are not
blessed with a serial console and wish to keep all their ddb output in the
log. Specifying /l as a modifier to some selected commands will also put
the output in the log but not all commands provide one nor has the same
meaning for all commands.
This feature could in the future also be implemented as an ddb command but
that could lead to more bloat allthough maybe easier for non developpers to
use when mailing their backtraces from kernel crashes.
Add support for cpus where sizeof(register_t) is not necessarily
the same as sizeof(void *). This is the case on SH5 using the
ILP32 ABI. On this cpu db_expr_t is, necessarily, 64-bits.
Unfortunately, in ILP32 mode, ddb will only display the low 32-bits
of any expression, including registers...
Make some variables and functions static when not used outside of a module.
Make variables in headers extern.
Delete the unused db_find_watchpoint() function.
The "ditto" character is " (double-quote); not , (comma) as
indicated in the manpage; and not ' (single-quote) as indicated
in the man.old -style manpage from which the mdoc manpage was derived.
Some other versions of ddb use single-quote for this feature, and this
part of the code may change again in the near future, but the documentation
now affects reality now.
