Hi everyone:

Recently I was using kgdb and VMware workstation to debug linux kernel
2.6.26.

I compiled and install kgdb according to the following webpage:

http://jaredrobinson.com/blog/using-the-2626-linux-kernel-debugger-kgdb-with-vmware/



But I still have some problems:

When I start gdb like:gdb ./vmliunx, it shows:



[r...@localhost linux-2.6.26]# gdb ./vmlinux
GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.6-35.fc8rh)

This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux-gnu"...
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) set remotebaud 115200
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0
Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS0
warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint*
*0xc045516d in ?? ()**



Then I type “n”, it shows:

(gdb) n
Cannot find bounds of current function



I simply realize the output “0xc045516d in ?? ()” is different from common
output

“breakpoint () at kernel/kgdb.c:1212

1212:atomic_set(&kgdb_setting_breakpoint, 0);” which I found on some
webpages



The real problem is that when I set breakpoints at like “sys_open”,
“sys_getdents64”, the kernel execution didn’t stop at that point.

But if I “echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger ” in target machine, it can stop
running. In the development machine, I still only can send “continue”
command to make the target run again, if I send “next” command, it shows
just like above.



Does anybody confront this kind of problems, please give me some
suggestions, I really appreciate that!
