Summary: Confusing message from kgdb
Details:
When I played kgdb last time years ago, IIRC kernel with kgdb patch would print out
Waiting for connection from remote gdb...
when it booted. But today it does not print out it when it boots. Instead, it prints it out when gdb connects to it.

Not a bug. If you choose debug over UART, you will find this menu option.
Debugging over ethernet doesn't support early connection.

i dont follow ... if you choose "debug over ethernet", then why do you
get that "waiting for connection from remote gdb..." message ? ive
seen this before as well, i just ignored it

That's a messaging when the first kgdb trap is entered. In UART mode, kgdb code
can trigger this trap at the very beginning.

I don't think this is related to UART mode. I saw the message when I was using
KGDB over ethernet. I think this message should appear on console before gdb
connects, but currently it appears when gdb connects. It's not a serious bug.
But it really confused me when I started playing KGDB, gave me perception that
gdb didn't connect to KGDB correctly.

That's because in former kgdb patch, this option is also enabled for ethernet.
But, since the IP address is configured very late when kernel boot, this
meaningless early debugging trap was then disabled for ethernet.
