Multiprocessor systems
On multiprocessor systems, entering the KDB kernel debugger stops all processors except the current processor running the debug program itself.
On multiprocessor systems, the number in parentheses that is part of the prompt indicates the current processor. For example:
- For the following prompt,
KDB(0)>, the number0is contained in parentheses and is the current processor. - For the following prompt,
KDB(5)>, the number5is contained in parentheses and is the current processor.
In addition to the change in the prompt for multiprocessor systems, there are also subcommands that are unique to these systems. For more information about the subcommands that can be used on multiprocessor systems, see Subcommand lists. The subcommands that are unique to multiprocessors are identified in the usage column.
