For the kernel space, all ebreak instructions are determined at compile time because the kernel space debugging module is currently unsupported. Hence, it should be treated as a bug if an ebreak instruction which does not belong to BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN or BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG is executed in kernel space. For the userspace, debugging module or user problem may intentionally insert an ebreak instruction to trigger a SIGTRAP signal. To approach the above two situations, the do_trap_break() will direct the BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE ebreak exception issued in kernel space to die() and will send a SIGTRAP to the trapped process only when the ebreak is in userspace.

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.
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.
