commit 8b7dc1fe1a upstream.
ASSERT_CRITICAL() invokes kgdb_breakpoint() whenever either
CONFIG_KGDB or CONFIG_HAVE_KGDB is set. This, however, may lead to a
kernel panic when no kdb stuff is attached, since the
kgdb_breakpoint() call issues INT3. It's nothing but a surprise for
normal end-users.
For avoiding the pitfall, make the kgdb_breakpoint() call only when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_DC is set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
