From f197d75fcad125f41cc6e2fdf1b3ea733db995f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kieran Bingham Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:24:40 -0700 Subject: scripts/gdb: provide linux constants Some macro's and defines are needed when parsing memory, and without compiling the kernel as -g3 they are not available in the debug-symbols. We use the pre-processor here to extract constants to a dedicated module for the linux debugger extensions Top level Kbuild is used to call in and generate the constants file, while maintaining dependencies on autogenerated files in include/generated Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/bc3df9c25f57ea72177c066a51a446fc19e2c27f.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Cc: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py') diff --git a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py index d5943eca19cd..6e0b0afd888a 100644 --- a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py +++ b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py @@ -30,3 +30,4 @@ else: import linux.cpus import linux.lists import linux.proc + import linux.constants -- cgit v1.2.2 From e127a73d41ac471d7e3ba950cf128f42d6ee3448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kieran Bingham Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:25:07 -0700 Subject: scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems. This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its head node. Usage: The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree. The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure. For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at index 18, try the following: (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d2028c55e50cf95a9b7f8ca0d11885174b0cc709.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py') diff --git a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py index 6e0b0afd888a..3a80ad6eecad 100644 --- a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py +++ b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py @@ -31,3 +31,4 @@ else: import linux.lists import linux.proc import linux.constants + import linux.radixtree -- cgit v1.2.2
