[Crash-utility] 答复: 答复: failed to do crash analysis after insert custom module in the first kernel.

Hi Dave; I did not find core_size member, but core_size_rx, core_size_rw instead: /**********************************/ void *module_init_rx; void *module_init_rw; void *module_core_rx; void *module_core_rw; unsigned int init_size_rw; unsigned int core_size_rw; unsigned int init_size_rx; unsigned int core_size_rx; /**********************************/ The problem should be here, thanks a lot!!

Hi Dave: Thanks for your prompt feedback and valuable suggestion! on the kdump'd kernel, correct? Yes, you are right, any module was added, the crash tool will not worked well. I'll check if core_size was in the kernel which we used. If there is no this member, I'll backport the support on this memeber in the following.

I'm guessing that when crash does work OK in #2, there were *no* kernel modules installed on the kdump'd kernel, correct? Crash has a hardwired presumption that the kernel's "module" structure has a "core_size" member. That member has existed since the beginning of Linux kernel version 2.6 if I'm not mistaken. (It used to be "module.size" back in the 2.4 era) The module.core_size member is not inside an #ifdef of any kind, so I can't explain why it is not being found by the embedded gdb module. If you do this, is the core_size member not shown?: $ gdb vmlinux.host.20160108nokgdbserial ... (gdb) ptype struct module type = struct module { ... I only have one 2.6.34-era kernel on-hand, and when I run the command above, it looks like this: $ gdb vmlinux-2.6.34-11.fc14 GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.4.50.20120120-54.fc17) Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

However, I'm guessing that you're trying to debug a kernel module, and so it may not be all that helpful.
