lkcd在2.6.9上安装指南

这几天调试kernel bug总是觉得不顺手,想找一些比较好的调试方法。 用了lkcd(Linux Kernel Crash Dump)感觉真的不错.

安装环境
OS: Debian testing, linux-2.6.16.18
gcc: gcc (GCC) 4.0.4 20060507 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.3-3)

安装步骤：
1。下载软件包， linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2, lkcd-6.1.0_2.6.9.patch.gz和lkcdutils-6.1.0.tar.gz
下载地址：

2. 给kernel 打patch
patch -p1 < lkcd-6.1.0_2.6.9.patch

3。编译内核
由于使用的是4.0的gcc，编译除了不少错，具体错误和解决办法可以看附录1。


4.安装lkcdutils
按照doc/lkcd_tutorial.pdf中的步骤
在安装lkcdutils过程中除了不少错误，安装了libelfg0-dev之后好像就好了

5./sbin/lkcd config
报gethostbyname错
看了不少文档,最后发现是配置错了,
最后配置文件如下:
/etc/sysconfig/dump
DUMP_ACTIVE="1"
DUMPDEV="/dev/vmdump"
DUMPDIR="/var/log/dump"
DUMP_LEVEL="2"
DUMP_COMPRESS="2"
DUMP_FLAGS="0x80000000"
DUMP_SAVE="1"
PANIC_TIMEOUT="5"
BOUNDS_LIMIT=10
KEXEC_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz
KEXEC_CMDLINE="root console=tty0"
TARGET_HOST="localhost"
TARGET_PORT=6688
SOURCE_PORT=6688


附录1 使用gcc4编译2.6.9。

去掉isa的编译

修改代码
struct i2c_msg msg[]
改成
struct i2c_msg *msg

注视掉了这一行:

//printk("Page count 0x%x\n", page_count(page->count));
