[Crash-utility] per_cpu__xxxxx

Hi Dave, In reading your reply arroud per_cpu__xxxxx, i have understood my mistake. For a new bee ... i think we could add someting like this in your help. ===================================================== Spetial mention arround per_cpu__xxxx (with Intel only ?) in SMP context. First step : you have to find __per_cpu_offset crash> __per_cpu_offset __per_cpu_offset = $1 = {25182048, 25214816, 25247584, 25280352, 25313120, 25345888, 25378656, 25411424, 25444192, 25476960, 25509728, 25542496, 25575264, 25608032, 25640800, 25673568, 25706336, 25739104, 25771872, 25804640, 25837408, 25870176, 25902944, 25935712, 25968480, 26001248, 26034016, 26066784, 26099552, 26132320, 26165088, 26197856} Second setp : use whatis, struct and sym with your per_cpu__xxxxx crash> whatis per_cpu__irq_stat irq_cpustat_t per_cpu__irq_stat; crash> irq_cpustat_t -o No struct type named irq_cpustat_t. struct { [0] unsigned int __softirq_pending; [4] long unsigned int idle_timestamp; [8] unsigned int __nmi_count; [12] unsigned int apic_timer_irqs; } SIZE: 128 crash> sym per_cpu__irq_stat c0407380 (D) per_cpu__irq_stat Third step : use eval to determine the correct address crash> eval c0407380 + 25214816 hexadecimal: c1c132e0 [...] (one day, i shall try to do a small patch with options -h, -d, -o and -2 (-b better, but already used) to select the proper choice when we want to !!!) Last step : you may now access to the per_cpu__xxxxx of second CPU crash> rd -d c1c132e0 4 c1c132e0: 0 16918620 0 17218691 A nicer example, with a well defined structure : crash> sym per_cpu__kstat c0408be0 (D) per_cpu__kstat crash> whatis per_cpu__kstat struct kernel_stat per_cpu__kstat; crash> eval c0408be0 + 25214816 hexadecimal: c1c14b40 [...] crash> kernel_stat c1c14b40 struct kernel_stat { cpustat = { user = 535936, nice = 3864001, system = 33693, softirq = 289, irq = 526, idle = 12992235, iowait = 23818, steal = 0 }, irqs = {8702265, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 77403, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4788, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 18433, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} } ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ce message a ete envoye par IMP, grace a l'Universite Paris 10 Nanterre ----- Fin du message transféré ----- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ce message a ete envoye par IMP, grace a l'Universite Paris 10 Nanterre
