scripts/gdb: fix lx-version string output

2021-01-12T18:49:03Z

commit b058809bfc8faeb7b7cae047666e23375a060059 upstream A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when parsing variables. This has been reported [0], but we should ensure that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings. For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version' only prints one character. (gdb) lx-version L(gdb) This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).

scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: use explicit encoding=utf8 errors=replace

2021-01-12T18:49:03Z

commit 46d10a094353c05144f3b0530516bdac3ce7c435 upstream Use errors=replace because it is never desirable for lx-dmesg to fail on string decoding errors, not even if the log buffer is corrupt and we show incorrect info. The kernel will sometimes print utf8, for example the copyright symbol from jffs2. In order to make this work specify 'utf8' everywhere because python2 otherwise defaults to 'ascii'. In theory the second errors='replace' is not be required because everything that can be decoded as utf8 should also be encodable back to utf8. But it's better to be extra safe here. It's worth noting that this is definitely not true for encoding='ascii', unknown characters are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and they fail to encode back to ascii.

scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: cast log_buf to void* for addr fetch

2021-01-12T18:49:03Z

commit c454756f47277b651ad41a5a163499294529e35d upstream In some cases it is possible for the str() conversion here to throw encoding errors because log_buf might not point to valid ascii. For example: (gdb) python print str(gdb.parse_and_eval("log_buf")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) Avoid this by explicitly casting to (void *) inside the gdb expression.

scripts/gdb: make lx-dmesg command work (reliably)

2021-01-12T18:49:02Z

commit d6c9708737c2107c38bd75f133d14d5801b8d6d5 upstream lx-dmesg needs access to the log_buf symbol from printk.c. Unfortunately, the symbol log_buf also exists in BPF's verifier.c and hence gdb can pick one or the other. If it happens to pick BPF's log_buf, lx-dmesg doesn't work: (gdb) lx-dmesg Python Exception Cannot access memory at address 0x0: Error occurred in Python command: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 (gdb) p log_buf $15 = 0x0 Luckily, GDB has a way to deal with this, see https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Symbols.html (gdb) info variables ^log_buf$ All variables matching regular expression "^log_buf$": File /kernel/bpf/verifier.c: static char *log_buf; File /kernel/printk/printk.c: static char *log_buf; (gdb) p 'verifier.c'::log_buf $1 = 0x0 (gdb) p 'printk.c'::log_buf $2 = 0x811a6aa0 <__log_buf> "" (gdb) p &log_buf $3 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 (gdb) p &'verifier.c'::log_buf $4 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 (gdb) p &'printk.c'::log_buf $5 = (char **) 0x8048b7d0 By being explicit about the location of the symbol, we can make lx-dmesg work again. While at it, do the same for the other symbols we need from printk.c Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170526112222.3414-1-git@andred.net Signed-off-by: André Draszik Tested-by: Kieran Bingham Acked-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

scripts/gdb: fix debugging modules compiled with hot/cold partitioning

2019-12-05T14:34:10Z

[ Upstream commit 8731acc5068eb3f422a45c760d32198175c756f8 ] gcc's -freorder-blocks-and-partition option makes it group frequently and infrequently used code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely sections respectively. At least when building modules on s390, this option is used by default. gdb assumes that all code is located in .text section, and that .text section is located at module load address. With such modules this is no longer the case: there is code in .text.hot and .text.unlikely, and either of them might precede .text. Fix by explicitly telling gdb the addresses of code sections. It might be tempting to do this for all sections, not only the ones in the white list. Unfortunately, gdb appears to have an issue, when telling it about e.g. loadable .note.gnu.build-id section causes it to think that non-loadable .note.Linux section is loaded at address 0, which in turn causes NULL pointers to be resolved to bogus symbols. So keep using the white list approach for the time being.

This reverts commit e127a73d41ac ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser") The python implementation of radix-tree was merged at the same time as the radix-tree system was heavily reworked from commit e9256efcc8e3 ("radix-tree: introduce radix_tree_empty") to 3bcadd6fa6c4 ("radix-tree: free up the bottom bit of exceptional entries for reuse") and no longer functions, but also prevents other gdb scripts from loading.

scripts/gdb: Perform path expansion to lx-symbol's arguments

2016-07-15T05:54:27Z

Python doesn't do automatic expansion of paths. In case one passes path of the from ~/foo/bar the gdb scripts won't automatically expand that and as a result the symbols files won't be loaded.

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.
