Hi Andi,

I found your kgdb for x86_64 for linux-2.4.20 and I'm wondering if 
there is a version for the 2.6 tree?

If it doesn't exist, I'm thinking of merging your changes with the
current i386 kgdb from Andrew Morton's tree.

There is no 2.6 version of kgdb currently. The 2.4 version also has some
problems that makes it better to not use it at all.

My plan was to do a fresh port from the code in -mm* and get rid of 
many of the ugly hacks in 2.4. Doing this properly requires adding
dwarf2 annotation to entry.S and other assembly files. This would
allow to get rid of the "interrupt threads" hack in 2.4 because gdb
could directly backtrace through exception/interrupts.

I see that Andrew has not picked up my latest kgdb.  In the latest version I 
have the dwarf2 stuff working in entry.S.  Just ask, off list.

Do you use the .cfi* mnemonics in newer binutils? Without that it would get ugly.

I use asm mnemonics .uleb*, .sleb*, .byte and .long.  For operands I use the 
defines in dwarf2.h (after fixing them to work with asm).  These are, for the 
most part DW_CFA_* and other DW_* things.  I put this together to build macros 
(CCP) so that I can code things like:

	CFI_preamble(c1,_PC,1,1)
	CFA_define_reference(_ESP,OLDESP)
	CFA_define_offset(_EIP,EIP-OLDESP)
	CFA_define_offset(_EBX,EBX-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_ECX,ECX-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_EDX,EDX-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_ESI,ESI-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_EDI,EDI-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_EBP,EBP-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_EAX,EAX-OLDESP)	
	CFA_define_offset(_EFLAGS,EFLAGS-OLDESP)	
	CFI_postamble(c1)
	/*
          * This is VERY sloppy.  At this point all we want to do is get
          * the frame right for back tracing.  It will not be good if
          * you try to single step.  We use already defined labels.
          * We want to cover all call outs.
	 */
	FDE_preamble(c1,f0,do_lcall,(lcall27 - do_lcall))
	CFA_define_cfa_offset(OLDESP+8)
	FDE_postamble(f0)	
	FDE_preamble(c1,f00,ret_from_fork,(ret_from_intr - ret_from_fork))
	CFA_define_cfa_offset(OLDESP+4)
	FDE_postamble(f00)	
	FDE_preamble(c1,f1,ret_from_intr,(divide_error - ret_from_intr))
	FDE_postamble(f1)	
	FDE_preamble(c1,f2,error_code,(coprocessor_error - error_code))
	CFA_define_cfa_offset(OLDESP+8)
	FDE_postamble(f2)	
	FDE_preamble(c1,f3,device_not_available_emulate,(debug - 
device_not_available_emulate))
	CFA_define_cfa_offset(OLDESP+4)
	FDE_postamble(f3)	
	FDE_preamble(c1,f4,nmi_stack_correct,(nmi_stack_fixup - nmi_stack_correct))
	CFA_define_cfa_offset(OLDESP+8)
	FDE_postamble(f4)	


Which allows "bt" through entry.S code.  I did not try to allow you to get the 
correct answer if you stop in the middle of the register save or restore code.

I attached two files.  The dwarf2.h file I got from the cvs tree a few months 
ago and mung up to work with either asm or C.

The dwarf2-lang.h file is the one with the above macros.  This is a work in 
progress. I am working on adding the stack operations so I can tell gdb when to 
tie off the stack at an interrupt (its from user land) and when it can continue 
on through the interrupt.  This requires telling it to look at the stack and to 
come up with a different p-register.  (It took a while, but I have found that 
when gdb finds a return address of zero, it assumes that is the bottom of the 
stack and stops the back trace.)

Another trick I would like to try is to build a call frame for the out of line 
spinlock code.  I think if I can tell gdb to fetch the address part of the jmp 
back to the inline code as the return address, it will unwind correctly.  This, 
again, requires the stack ops...

 * data_align this is the factor used to define register offsets.  If
 * you use struct offset, this should be the size of the register in

 * define a register as the reference register, say the stack pointer,
 * then you will say where a register is located relative to this
 * reference registers value, say 40 for register 3 (the gdb register
 * number).  The <40> will be multiplied by <data_align> to define the
 * byte offset of the given register (3, in this example).  So if your
 * <40> is the byte offset and the reference register points at the
 * begining, you would want 1 for the data_offset.  If <40> was the 40th
 * 4-byte element in that structure you would want 4.  And if your

The latest binutils has new .cfi_* mnemonics in gas that make writing such a table
much cleaner and easier. My plan was to use that. It would require new binutils,
but make future mainteance much easier. When people don't have the new binutils
it can be defined away.

On x86-64 it is unfortunately more complicated because it has a separate interrupt
or exception stack. The backtracker has to read the old stack pointer from the 
frame. This can be expressed in dwarf2, but is a bit tricky.

Looks like good stuff if you want to do a blow by blow.  I decided against this 
in the register save and restore code as it is hardly ever needed.  An asm 
function is another matter and this looks good for that.

An observation:  Once you have the register save info in a CFI call frame, you 
can refer to it from anyplace you do the same save order.  For example, in my 
code, the trap save and the system call save as well as the interrupt saves are 
all covered by the one cfi entry.  This does not work if you want to do a blow 
by blow on the save and restore of the registers.  Also, I don't see the entries 
to do expression evaluation (yet).

Yes, the expression stuff...
