Subject: KGDB: automatic loading of modules in gdb
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 18:18:02 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200312231818.03072.amitkale@emsyssoft.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have integrated a couple of kgdb features from TimeSys Linux distribution.
1. Automatic loading of module files in gdb:
A special version of gdb is provided with this feature. It can detect loading
and unloading of modules in a kernel. Whenever a module is loaded, gdb loads
the module object file and makes it available for debugging. loadmodule.sh
script is no longer needed.
2. Better kernel stack traces:
Kernel stack traces stop at entry points into the kernel and few invalid stack
frames appear in gdb kernel backtraces, if any.
These features are available in kgdb-1.9 at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
