Hello All,
This is my first mail for this mailing list.Actually i have tried
to clear my doubt in all forums,but i could not able
to find the solution for my problem.Here i will explain about my issue.
i have some problem in my Linux Machine(2.4.17),it seems one of the
application process is become looping.
So i could not able to access my system.So i have tried through kdb mode.After
enter into KDB that time only i have found
current running process(my application process using ps command under KDB).
Then i have dumped the memory to dedicated
Crashdump partition.My system having Crashdump Mechanism.
The problem is when i have dump the System memory,all system registers
(eax,ebx,........,esp,eip) values like invalid values.
The values all are less than 0xc0000000(PAGE_OFFSET).All values are like
user-space values.So my crashdump
mechanism could not able to dump the memory.Because the computation of current
process descriptor (esp & 0xffffe000) address
becomes invalid.So i didnt get Kernel Stack for this Process,because of invalid
ESP value.
Could you please explain me,in this case how can i dump the
corresponding kernel-space values (all pt_regs values)
in kdb mode.Then only i can able to dump the memory properly.After that only i
can able to start my Crash analysis.
How to find the pt_regs address for this case,in kernel-space land.
Actually i have modified my part of KDB code like this for this case,
if ( regs->esp < PAGE_OFFSET)
{
regs->esp=current->thread.esp;
regs->eip=current->thread.eip;
regs->ebp=*(unsigned long *)esp;
}
Then pass the address of pt_regs for Crashdump
Mechanism,i tried this modification in my system,but i couldnt succeeded.
If you have any information about this one Could you reply to
me,it will be very useful.
If my Question is wrong,Could you please ignore it.
Thankx & Regards,
Murali.S
