When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will later emit the message: kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly. The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.
