2024-05-08scripts/gdb: fix failing KGDB detection during probeFlorian Rommel1-1/+1
Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes for $lx_current and $lx_per_cpu". This series fixes several bugs in the GDB scripts related to the $lx_current and $lx_per_cpu functions. The changes were tested with GDB 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. Patch 1 fixes false-negative results when probing for KGDB Patch 2 fixes the $lx_per_cpu function, which is currently non-functional in QEMU-GDB and KGDB. Patch 3 fixes an additional bug in $lx_per_cpu that occurs with KGDB. Patch 4 fixes the incorrect detection of the current CPU number in KGDB, which silently breaks $lx_per_cpu and $lx_current. This patch (of 4): The KGDB probe function sometimes failed to detect KGDB for SMP machines as it assumed that task 2 (kthreadd) is running on CPU 0, which is not necessarily the case. Now, the detection is agnostic to kthreadd's CPU.

2023-08-21scripts/gdb/utils: add common type usageKuan-Ying Lee1-0/+20
Since we often use 'unsigned long', 'size_t', 'usigned int' and 'struct page', we add these common types to utils.

2023-04-18scripts/gdb: create linux/vfs.py for VFS related GDB helpersGlenn Washburn1-8/+0
Patch series "GDB VFS utils". I've created a couple GDB convenience functions that I found useful when debugging some VFS issues and figure others might find them useful. For instance, they are useful in setting conditional breakpoints on VFS functions where you only care if the dentry path is a certain value. I took the opportunity to create a new "vfs" python module to give VFS related utilities a home. This patch (of 2): This will allow for more VFS specific GDB helpers to be collected in one place. Move utils.dentry_name into the vfs modules. Also a local variable in proc.py was changed from vfs to mnt to prevent a naming collision with the new vfs module.

2022-07-21scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-dmesg' on 32 bits archAntonio Borneo1-2/+12
The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an int or a s64 value. Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t. On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the struct prb_desc_ring: struct prb_desc_ring { ... atomic_long_t tail_id; }; causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error: Python Exception <class 'IndexError'>: index out of range Error occurred in Python: index out of range Query the really used atomic_long_t counter type size.

2019-10-19scripts/gdb: fix lx-dmesg when CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is setJoel Colledge1-12/+13
When CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set, struct printk_log contains an additional member caller_id. This affects the offset of the log text. Account for this by using the type information from gdb to determine all the offsets instead of using hardcoded values. This fixes following error: (gdb) lx-dmesg Python Exception <class 'ValueError'> embedded null character: Error occurred in Python command: embedded null character The read_u* utility functions now take an offset argument to make them easier to use.

2016-05-23scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scriptsDom Cote1-2/+15
Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type for the arguments. When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str' for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ). Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X .

2016-05-23scripts/gdb: provide exception catching parserKieran Bingham1-0/+7
If we attempt to read a value that is not available to GDB, an exception is raised. Most of the time, this is a good thing; however on occasion we will want to be able to determine if a symbol is available. By catching the exception to simply return None, we can determine if we tried to read an invalid value, without the exception taking our execution context away from us Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/c72b25c06fc66e1d68371154097e2cbb112555d8.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-02-17scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7Pantelis Koukousoulas1-1/+1
I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled against python 3.3) but there were several errors. I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod). Main issues that needed to be resolved: * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is __next__() instead (so let's just add both). * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format()) where it was converting the object to str first and then calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which we need to keep this behavior. * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3. This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python 3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version checks etc).
