KGDBOE arch linux 4.7.6-1 asus z170

[arthy]

I am trying to setup kgdboe manually on my arch linux 4.7.6-1 setup on an Asus z170 pro gaming motherboard and on board ethernet card

The kgdboe module fails loading with a segfault as the call to kallsyms_lookup_name is failing for __tracepoint_netif_receive_smb during tracepoint registration.

I dont find the symbol in /proc/kallsyms either. I disabled the tracepoint registration and then am able to insmod the kgdboe module and it initializes successfully. However,

the host gdb is unable to connect to the target due to connection timeout (after breaking the target simultaneously)

1. How do I enable the tracepoint_netif_receive_smb
2. Am I missing any kernel config option (CONFIG_DEBUG, CONFIG_MAGIG_SYSRQ, CONGIG_TRACEPOINT are all set in my compiled kernel)
3. Ethernet driver e1000e does seem to have netpoll enabled

 

Could you please help on what I could possibly be missing?
