> Nate, you mentioned that the symbols are used for debugging. Are you talking > about debugging the kernel itself or debugging m5? Both. Though, for remote debugging, gdb uses the kernel image to get the symbols. On the m5 side, the symbols can be used for execution tracing. Also, I forgot to mention that we use symbols so we can trap certain functions. For example, we can emulate the kernel dprintk instead of executing it so it goes faster. We emulate busy loops instead of executing them, etc.
