Subject: [PATCH 3/8] kgdb, modules: Always allow module sect info for KGDB
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008 07:35:09 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1202564114-18587-4-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1202564114-18587-3-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>
From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
With more information in the kernel, gdb can be modified in such a way
as to automatically read the kernel module section information and
allow for easy kernel module debugging.
In gdb the solib-search-path must contain the location of any module
to be debugged. When a module is loaded GDB acts like a shared
library has been loaded and will collect the information about the
memory location so the kernel module can be debugged or inspected.
Even when not using kgdb+gdb, it is quite useful for a
debugger+ICE/jtag to have the module section information.
