Hi,
I have a problem with resolving addresses of global variables while using KGDB for debugging modules.
I am using RedHat 9 and KGDB version 1.6. GDB Version used is 6.0
The required module to be debugged is insmoded. getsyms.sh is executed on the executable file . It is noted that the output does not contain the address of BSS. i.e, the output of this is something like
add-symbol-file mymodule.o 0xc8930060 -s .rodata 0xc8c17960 -s .bss 0x -s .data 0xc8d2b560
Note that the address of BSS section is null, i.e not filled.
add-symbol-file command is pasted in GDB. I am able to keep break-points on the functions and everything is fine except the Global variables which are stored in BSS are not accessible. Whenever i try to print the address of any global variable(stored in BSS), gdb always prints the starting address of the text Segment.(In this case 0xc8930060 is printed)
I obtained the starting address of BSS by giving -m option while doing insmod. I supplied this address to add-symbol-file , but the effect is same.
add-symbol-file mymodule.o 0xc8930060 -s .rodata 0xc8c17960 -s .bss 0xc8d33ee0 -s .data 0xc8d2b560
Addresses of all the global variables is being shown as the start of text segment.
Please help me in sorting out this issue.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Surya Santosh
