2016-07-15scripts/gdb: rebuild constants.py on dependancy changeKieran Bingham1-2/+3
The autogenerated constants.py file was only being built on the initial call, and if the constants.py.in file changed. As we are utilising the CPP hooks, we can successfully use the call if_changed_dep rules to determine when to rebuild the file based on it's inclusions.

2016-07-15scripts/gdb: silence 'nothing to do' messageKieran Bingham1-0/+1
The constants.py generation, involves a rule to link into the main makefile. This rule has no command and generates a spurious warning message in the build logs when CONFIG_SCRIPTS_GDB is enabled. Fix simply by giving a no-op action Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <[email protected]> Reported-by: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2016-05-23scripts/gdb: provide linux constantsKieran Bingham1-1/+11
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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]> Cc: Michal Marek <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2015-02-17scripts/gdb: add infrastructureJan Kiszka1-0/+11
This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb. The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux. The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory. Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we depend on gdb >= 7.2. This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.
