ORACLE RAC－－在RAC节点上测试产生并调试core文件

ORACLE RAC－－在Linux下测试产生并调试core文件

1.查看服务器内核版本：

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ uname -a
Linux rac1 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

再看看默认的一些参数，注意core file size是个0，程序出错时不会产生core文件了。

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 16384
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 4096
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 2047
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

2. 写个简单的程序，看看core文件是不是会被产生。

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ cat test.c

#include
#include

static void sub(void);
int main(void)
{
    sub();
    return 0;
}

static void sub(void)
{
    int *p = NULL;
    /* derefernce a null pointer, expect core dump. */
    printf("%d", *p);
}

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ gcc -o test -g test.c  //加上-g参数，便于使用gdb调试器
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ time ./test
Segmentation fault

real    0m0.004s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.003s

[oracle@rac1 CR_TEST]$ ls -l core.*
ls: core.*: No such file or directory

没有找到core文件，我们改改ulimit的设置，让它产生。1024是随便取的，要是core文件大于1024个块，就产生不出来了。

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ ulimit -c 1024

[oracle@rac1 CR_TEST]$ ulimit  -a   
core file size          (blocks, -c) 1024
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 16384
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 4096
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 2047
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

[oracle@rac1 CR_TEST]$ ./test
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[oracle@rac1 CR_TEST]$ ls -l core.*
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 139264 Sep 27 13:35 core.29664

由上述的输出信息，可以看到多了个(core dumped)。确实产生了一个core文件，29664是该进程的PID。我们用GDB来看看这个core。

3.使用gdb命令调试：

[oracle@rac1 CR_TEST]$ gdb --core=core.29664
GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-37.el5)

(no debugging symbols found)
Core was generated by `./test'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
[New process 29664]
#0  0x080483b8 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x080483b8 in ?? ()
#1  0x00ab9ff4 in ?? ()
#2  0x00ab8204 in ?? ()
#3  0xbf8d6198 in ?? ()
#4  0x080483f9 in ?? ()
#5  0x009a4e25 in ?? ()
#6  0x00000000 in ?? ()

此时使用bt看不到backtrace，也就是调用堆栈，原来GDB还不知道符号信息在哪里。需要指定文件位置：

(gdb) file ./test
Reading symbols from /home/oracle/CR_TEST/test...done.
(gdb) bt
#0  0x080483b8 in sub () at test.c:15
#1  0x0804839a in main () at test.c:7

此时backtrace出来了。

(gdb) l 12
7           sub();
8           return 0;
9       }
10
11      static void sub(void)
12      {
13          int *p = NULL;
14          /* derefernce a null pointer, expect core dump. */
15          printf("%d", *p);
16      }

以上测试过程，即为在RAC节点上测试产生并调试core文件的全过程。
