Linux驱动开发常用调试工具---之内存读写工具devmem和devkmem

问题

---

这段时间实验室要完成一个内存故障注入工具和寄存器故障注入工具，在编写驱动的过程中，调试起来很麻烦（一般都是printk打印出来的，调试起来太不方便），于是想

“可不可以在调试设备驱动的时候，利用一个小工具来读写内存某块区域的值以及CPU中寄存器的值？

这点前辈的大神已经为我们找到了，参见《LDD3》的《第十五章 内存映射和DMA》

目前已经有这样的工具了devmem和devkmem，就是通过mmap映射/dev/mem的。

这个工具的源码简单，google一下到处都是，这里随便给出一两个地址：
http://sources.buildroot.net/devmem2.c
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/utils/devmem2/src/devmem2.c

/dev/mem和/dev/kmem其实是在同一个驱动中代码中产生的：drivers/char/mem.c

如果想知道具体的情况，建议大家认真学习《LDD3》的《第十五章 内存映射和DMA》，然后自己分析源码。

Linux下/dev/mem和/dev/kmem的区别

---

• /dev/mem: 物理内存的全镜像。可以用来访问物理内存。

  用来访问物理IO设备，比如X用来访问显卡的物理内存，或嵌入式中访问GPIO。用法一般就是open，然后mmap，接着可以使用map之后的地址来访问物理内存。这其实就是实现用户空间驱动的一种方法。

• /dev/kmem: kernel看到的虚拟内存的全镜像。可以用来访问kernel的内容。
  一般可以用来查看kernel的变量，或者用作rootkit之类的。

devmem

---

使用

---

Usage:  ./devmem { address } [ type [ data ] ]
    address : memory address to act upon
    type    : access operation type : [b]yte, [h]alfword, [w]ord
    data    : data to be written

参数	描述
address	物理地址，如果是要修改该地址的数据，需要填入下面的参数；如果只是读取，省略即可
type	要访问的数据类型 [b]yte, [h]alfword, [w]ord
data	想要写入的数据

通过使用，发现IO内存和物理内核都可以读写。

devkmem

---

在后来的模块调试中，有一次需要查看内核虚拟地址中的数据，我又想起了“/dev/kmem”，

使用

---

使用方法：
用法: devkmem { address }

参数	描述
address	虚拟地址（内核逻辑地址）

源码

（仅支持读取）内核虚拟地址中的数据。
