使用/dev/kmem读取内核变量的值

调试嵌入式Linux内核时，可能需要查看某个内核变量的值。/dev/kmem正好提供了访问内核虚拟内存的途径。现在的内核大都默认禁用了/dev/kmem，打开的方法是在 make menuconfig中选中 device drivers –> Character devices –>/dev/kmem virtual device support.
用 cat /proc/kallsyms | grep * 找到要查看的变量的地址， 这个地址作为本程序的输入参数。

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

    int fd;
    char *mbase;
    char read_buf[10];
    unsigned int regAddr;

    varAddr = strtoul(argv[1], 0, 16);

    unsigned int ptr = varAddr & ~(PAGE_MASK);

    fd = open(DEVKMEM, O_RDONLY);
    if (fd == -1) {
        perror("open");
        exit(-1);
    }

    mbase = mmap(0,PAGE_SIZE,PROT_READ,MAP_SHARED,fd, (varAddr & PAGE_MASK));
    if (mbase == MAP_FAILED) {
        printf("map failed %s\n",strerror(errno));
    }

    printf("varAddr = 0x%X \n", varAddr);
    printf("mapbase = 0x%X \n", (unsigned int)mbase);
    printf("value   = 0x%X \n",*(unsigned int*)(mbase+ptr));

    close(fd);
    munmap(mbase,PAGE_SIZE);

    return 0;
