Subject: RE: Question about kernel module debug
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:32:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3807473EFFA73343902C7F097E26900001FA4448@CORPUSMX60C.corp.emc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <y0mtzoocmhg.fsf@ton.toronto.redhat.com>
Configuration of my environment:
Machine architecture: i686
OS: RHEL4 with kernel 2.6.9-42.Elsmp
Systemtap version: 0.6
Elfutils : 0.129
GCC: 3.4.6
The content of the script
**************************
probe module("my_module").function("*")
{
printf( "In the module\n");
}
**************************
The output is as follows:
**************************
Pass 1: parsed user script and 25 library script(s) in 80usr/10sys/136real ms.
semantic error: cannot find module my_module debuginfo: r_offset is bogus
semantic error: no match for probe point
while: resolving probe point module("my_module").function("*")
Pass 2: analyzed script: 2 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 global(s) in 0usr/30sys/43real ms.
Pass 2: analysis failed. Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.
**************************
And the functions in kernel and modules built with the kernel can be probed with no problem.
The module 'my_module' has been built with the debug information not stripped. But systemtap is still looking for a '.ko.debug' file.
Thanks !

That's right.

That's not right (elfutils error DWFL_E_BADRELOFF). It's as if
something has corrupted the data. Please describe the toolchain
version, architecture, and anything else that may be unusual about the
build process.
