Please forgive my ignorant question. I'm very new to this. I've built a Linux kernel from a source tree cloned from Linus's tree with a tag of v3.18.1 , which was from the middle of last month. I've installed it by building a Deb package and deploying it from the development machine to a test machine, and "uname" tells me that I'm running that kernel.
I've configured kgdb, and I see it connect at boot. (I specified kgdbwait.) I've also disable kernel-mode ASLR with "nokaslr" as a kernel parameter. I built the kernel with KGDB support turned on. Specifically, I've chosen: CONFIG_SERIAL_KGDB_NMI=y CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS is not set CONFIG_KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP=y CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC=0 I've started gdb by pointing it at the vmlinux image that I built, the same one which is installed on the test machine. And when it connects, I don't see any symbol resolution. Any attempt to do something which requires symbols acts as if they don't exist. Here's an example: (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS0 0xffffffff9e120bd4 in ?? () (gdb) cont Continuing. [Inferior 1 (Remote target) exited with code 01] (gdb) cont The program is not being run. (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS0 0xffffffff85120bd4 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0xffffffff85120bd4 in ?? () #1 0xffff88002350fe38 in ?? () #2 0xffffffff85121d0e in ?? () #3 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () Can somebody point me at a FAQ, or otherwise help me figure out how to get symbol resolution working?
