--- Comment #9 from Mark Millard <mar...@dsl-only.net> --- (In reply to John Baldwin from comment #5) As for ps -M /var/crash/vmcore.7 listing no processes: main uses kvm_getprocs, which in turn eventually does: if (KREAD(kd, nl[0].n_value, &nprocs)) { _kvm_err(kd, kd->program, "can't read nprocs"); return (0); } but that ends up with: (gdb) print nprocs $2 = 12873340 (I checked the code and "info reg" and the value matched.) So things are already well messed up here. That in turn ends up used in: size = nprocs * sizeof(struct kinfo_proc); kd->procbase = (struct kinfo_proc *)_kvm_malloc(kd, size); if (kd->procbase == NULL) return (0); which succeeds but later there is: nprocs = kvm_deadprocs(kd, op, arg, nl[1].n_value, nl[2].n_value, nprocs); if (nprocs <= 0) { _kvm_freeprocs(kd); nprocs = 0; } which in kvm_deadprocs gets to: if (KREAD(kd, a_allproc, &p)) { _kvm_err(kd, kd->program, "cannot read allproc"); return (-1); } acnt = kvm_proclist(kd, what, arg, p, bp, maxcnt); if (acnt < 0) return (acnt); where: static int kvm_proclist(kvm_t *kd, int what, int arg, struct proc *p, struct kinfo_proc *bp, int maxcnt) { int cnt = 0; . . . is used via: kvm_proclist (kd=0x41e14000, what=5, arg=0, p=0x0, bp=0x42000000, maxcnt=12873340) and the internal kvm_proclist loop no-ops because of p: for (; cnt < maxcnt && p != NULL; p = LIST_NEXT(&proc, p_list)) { So no process is listed. After the loop is: return (cnt); } And that means: nprocs = kvm_deadprocs(kd, op, arg, nl[1].n_value, nl[2].n_value, nprocs); if (nprocs <= 0) { _kvm_freeprocs(kd); nprocs = 0; } ends up with nprocs==0 and kd is freed, hopefully including kd->procbase being freed (I did not look). But overall: at least one KREAD gets back a junk figure. And with that I think I will stop for this note. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
