* scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3Kieran Bingham2016-05-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes for each line with a b'<text>' marker. To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default to 'UTF-8' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d67ccf93f2479c94cb3399262b9b796e0dbefcf2.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> Acked-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@gmail.com> Tested-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* scripts/gdb: fix issue with dmesg.py and python 3.XDom Cote2016-05-231-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When built against Python 3, GDB differs in the return type for its read_memory function, causing the lx-dmesg command to fail. Now that we have an improved read_16() we can use the new read_memoryview() abstraction to make lx-dmesg return valid data on both current Python APIs Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7 Tested with gdb 7.7 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/28477b727ff7fe3101fd4e426060e8a68317a639.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2+git@gmail.com> [kieran@bingham.xyz: Adjusted commit log to better reflect code changes] Tested-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> (Py2.7,Py3.4,GDB10) Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scriptsDom Cote2016-05-231-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type for the arguments. When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str' for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ). Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X . Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7 Tested with gdb 7.7 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/73621f564503137a002a639d174e4fb35f73f462.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2+git@gmail.com> Tested-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> (Py2.7,Py3.4,GDB10) Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* scripts/gdb: add lx_thread_info_by_pid helperKieran Bingham2016-05-231-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tasks module already provides helpers to find the task struct by pid, and the thread_info by task struct; however this is cumbersome to utilise on the gdb commandline.

* scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree ParserKieran Bingham2016-05-233-0/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems. This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its head node. Usage: The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree. The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure. For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at index 18, try the following: (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d2028c55e50cf95a9b7f8ca0d11885174b0cc709.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7Pantelis Koukousoulas2015-02-176-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled against python 3.3) but there were several errors. I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod). Main issues that needed to be resolved: * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is __next__() instead (so let's just add both). * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format()) where it was converting the object to str first and then calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which we need to keep this behavior. * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3. This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python 3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version checks etc).

* scripts/gdb: add lx-symbols commandJan Kiszka2015-02-172-0/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is probably the most useful helper when debugging kernel modules: lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko files in the specified paths and the current directory. Finally it walks the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata) and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.
