virtualbox调试linux内核,virtualbox(linux host) 调试linux guest 内核

windows host的vbox 串口可以选择namepipe，linux host同样可以选择这个配置。

在串口配置中选择host pipe，名称选择/tmp/vbox (这是local socket)，选择为server(自动创建pipe文件)。

guest启动之后/tmp/vbox就建立起来了。

使用socat可以检查是否成功连接。

socat -d -d /home/fotisl/virtualbox/myvm/serial1 pty   (这里一定要是-d -d)

2009/01/01 00:00:00 socat[12345] N opening connection to AF=1 "/home/fotisl/virtualbox/myvm/serial1"

2009/01/01 00:00:00 socat[12345] N successfully connected from local address AF=1 "/x04/b/xAB"

2009/01/01 00:00:00 socat[12345] N successfully connected via /xD0/xA7/x10

2009/01/01 00:00:00 socat[12345] N PTY is /dev/pts/42009/01/01 00:00:00 socat[12345] N starting data transfer loop with FDs [3,3] and [4,4]

红字部分就是连接的目标

新开一个窗口打开gdb

gdb ~/vmlinux

(gdb)

set remotebaud 115200(gdb)

target remote /dev/pts/4Remote debugging using /dev/pts/4

guest linux一定要编译了KGDB

同时设置

# echo ttyS0,115200 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

用# echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger  出发调试

如果是需要启动时调试，则增加boot参数。

kgdboc=ttyS0,115200 kgdbwait
