kgdb 调试内核模块

首先有两台机器，我是在development 机器上，用gdb调试target 机器加载cha_driver，cha_driver是一个简单的字符串驱动，

下面就是我一些简单的配置：

development machine                                                                                            

1,compile the kernel with serial and kgdb option                                                  

2,compile the cha_driver module to cha_driver.ko                                                

 

 target machine                                                                                                                      1

1,copy the bzImage and modules from development machine   

2,copy the cha_driverk.ko from the development machine      

3,modify the target machine grub as the following:                                                                                                                       

add serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1

add terminal --timeout=5 console 

add console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 at the kernel line

after finishing the above operations, you can reboot the target machine to debug:

at the development machine, do the following things:

#cd linux_path

#gdb vmlinux

#set remotebaud 115200

#target remote /dev/ttyS0

#b kernel/module.c:2111   //at the  load_module function, where ptr is the module symbol address

#b kernel/module.c:2465  //enter the module init funciton

#continue

then you can do #insmod cha_driver,ko at the target machine,it will stop at you development machine,then do the following things at your development machine

#p ptr //print you module address

#add-symbol-file path/cha_driver.ko  0x0c88c8000(it is the value of ptr)

#c  //then it will stop at line 2465

#s

#s //enter into globalmem_init function

ok,by now we debug the init function,then enter contiunue command at gdb,you can write a program to open your  device and do the write ,read  operation, the gdb will trace the function.
