Hi,
The breakpoint setting code in arch/arm/kernel/kgdb.c calls
patch_text(), which ends up trying to sleep while in interrupt context.
The bug was introduced by commit: 23a4e40 arm: kgdb: Handle read-only
text / modules. The resulting behavior is "BUG: scheduling while
atomic..." when setting a breakpoint in kgdb. This was tested on an
Nvidia Jetson TK1 board with 4.2.0-rc5-next-20150805 kernel.
Regards,
Aapo Vienamo
