I'd prefer to have a little more historical info in the patch header so that anyone still running gdb-7.6 has a better shot at finding out what is going on (some folks in the embedded world end up relying on surprisingly old cross-toolsets). In other words something more like: Using set remotebaud to set the baud rate was deprecated in gdb-7.7 and completely removed from the command parser in gdb-7.8 (released in 2014). Adopt set serial baud instead. Other than that the change looks good to me so with an improved description containing the above versions and dates this can be: Reviewed-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Thanks Daniel. > > Signed-off-by: Christian Loehle <cloehle@hyperstone.com> > --- > Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > index 43456244651a..7c90e111b364 100644 > --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ Connecting with gdb to a serial port > Example (using a directly connected port):: > > % gdb ./vmlinux > - (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 > + (gdb) set serial baud 115200 > (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 > > > -- > 2.34.1 > Hyperstone GmbH | Reichenaustr. 39a | 78467 Konstanz > Managing Director: Dr. Jan Peter Berns. > Commercial register of local courts: Freiburg HRB381782 >

PS No need to worry about it this time around but, for future reference, if someone provides you one of the tags (Reviewed-By, Acked-By, etc) during a review cycle then you are normally expected to collect this and add them to tags section when you share the next version of the patch or, if there are big technical changes that make you choose to view the tag as out-of-date then drop the tag but mention why in the patch changelog. > --- > Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > index 43456244651a..7c90e111b364 100644 > --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst > @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ Connecting with gdb to a serial port > Example (using a directly connected port):: > > % gdb ./vmlinux > - (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 > + (gdb) set serial baud 115200 > (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 > > > -- > 2.34.1 > Hyperstone GmbH | Reichenaustr. 39a | 78467 Konstanz > Managing Director: Dr. Jan Peter Berns. > Commercial register of local courts: Freiburg HRB381782 >

I can help but wonder, though, whether the historical information in the changelog actually belongs in the document itself. A user on some ancient system who can't make the example work is probably unlikely to consult the git history when looking for a solution. jon
Using set remotebaud to set the baud rate was deprecated in
gdb-7.7 and completely removed from the command parser in gdb-7.8
(released in 2014). Adopt set serial baud instead.
Change since v2:
- Add historical example in the documentation
