I have build custom 64bit UML Linux kernel with TUN/TAP kernel module
(tun.ko) and then I have installed it on small root filesystem with busybox
. These module and kernel seems to work and I would like to make simple
changes in TUN module and measure it's performance .
So I have tried to follow guide from
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/hacking.html which explains how to
attach gdb to UML and set breakpoint for module init function .
(gdb) p modules
$1 = {next = 0x6385cf38, prev = 0x6385cf38}
(gdb) p *((struct module *)0x6385cf30)

0x6036aee0}, name = "tun", '\000' <repeats 52 times>, mkobj = {kobj =
{name = 0x62e95b00 "tun", entry = {next = 0x62c30440, prev =
0x62c30148}, parent = 0x62c30450,

(gdb) add-symbol-file

add symbol table from file

Please answer y or n.

(gdb) p tun_init
$3 = {int (void)} 0x24 <tun_init>
(gdb) break tun_init
Cannot access memory at address 0x24
I don't understand why tun_init is located at 0x24 and not at 0x6385a000 ?
Can somebody point what I am doing wrong and how to load debug symbols and
set breakpoint ?
