I assume you have a variable called 'event', and that name got replaced
by a versioned symbol.
Yes, 'event' is a global variable in the kernel ;-)

Do you include <linux/modversions.h> in that file?

I usually use 'gcc -E' to find such problems.

Is Kernel2.2 is SMP versioned by default?

[jalaja devi]

Hi,
Could anyone plz tell me whether the kernel - 2.2.14
is SMP or NON-SMP by default?
To make it SMP versioned, Do I need to add some flags
in the kernel header files and re-compile to kernel?

Thanks in advance,
Jal

i actually think it may be SMP (for whatever odd reason).
you need to configure and compile the kernel, anyhow.
select from one of:

make config (text)
make menuconfig (curses)
make xconfig (Tk)

and make sure SMP is enabled, as well as support for the rest of your
hardware and the features you want.

then: make dep clean bzImage modules

kgdb ksymtab_addr not found!!

[jalaja devi]

Hi,

I have 2 quesions here:


1. Could any plz tell me what am i missing out here?

I basically, trying to debug my my loadable module in
kernel in kernel2.4.6 version. I patched the kernel
with 2.4.6 kgdb patch, using the recent version.

I am using the modutils shell script to load my module
loadmodule.sh which creates a gdbscript. When I source
the gdbscript I get the following warnings:

warning : section _ksymtab not found in mymodule.o
warning : section _archdata not found in mymodule.o

Do I need to patch the kernel with the modutils. Why
do I get these warnings.


2. How can I put a breakpoint to debug my init_module?
Which is the Kernel Fxn to be invoked to put a
breakpoint in my init_module?


Thanks in advance,

Jalaja

These warnings can be safely ignored.

You can place a breakpoint just before the the statement
where kernel calls init_module. Then load the generated
gdb script into gdb once the breakpoint is hit. Now you
can place a breakpoint directly into any statement in the
module code.

kgdb in kerenel2.4.6 : Unable to view the global variables!!

[jalaja devi]

Hi,
I am using kgdb for kernel2.4.6. But I am unable to
see my global variables. Could anyone please tell me
how can i fix this?

Also, When i install the loadmodule.sh, it creates the
gdbscripts. When I source the gdbscript, it gives the
warning,

> > warning : section _ksymtab not found in mymodule.o
> > warning : section _archdata not found in
mymodule.o

Is that related? Any hints will be helpful



Thanks in advance,
Jalaja

smp errors in 2.4!!

[jalaja devi]

I encounter this compilation error:
/usr/x.c:2112: struct has no member named
"event_Rsmp_7b16c344"

The structure has that field and I don't have the
conflicting structure name anywhere in my code and in
the system files too. 

The makefile uses sed and *.d files.

Could anyone help me out as how to fix this.

Thanks
Jalaja
