Subject: Re: Linux Kernel GDB tracepoint module 2010-8-30 release
cat /sys/module/hello/sections/.bss
0xf81b92ec
add-symbol-file ~/kernel/tmp/h/hello.ko 0xf81b9000 -s .bss 0xf81b92ec
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) tstatus
Trace is running on the target.
Collected 0 trace frames.
Trace buffer has 86255744 bytes of 86255744 bytes free (0% full).
Trace will stop if GDB disconnects.
Not looking at any trace frame.
(gdb) tstop
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1
#0 0xf81b9068 in test_thread (data=<value optimized out>) at
/home/teawater/kernel/tmp/h/hello.c:22
22 cnt++;
(gdb) p cnt
$1 = 106
(gdb) p tv
$2 = {tv_sec = 1283760246, tv_usec = 784020}
(gdb) p year
$3 = 2010
(gdb)
Looks I need update HOWTO now.
To get all the module message with hand is uncool.
I will make it more automated when I have time.
Thanks,
Hui
