【转】gdb 调试段错误
转自:blog.csdn.net/yangzhu1982/article/details/6318600
开发嵌入式Linux的时候经常会遇到segmentation fault,也就是段异常错误,一般是使用错误的指针访问内存导致。这种错误可以通过打开内核的异常信息输出,再用gdb对发生段异常的地址进行定位。
1.打开内核的异常信息输出:
mips的内核代码关闭了arch/mips/mm/fault.c的do_page_fault():133中的这段代码:
#if 0
printk("do_page_fault() #2: sending SIGSEGV to %s for "
"invalid %s/n%0*lx (epc == %0*lx, ra == %0*lx)/n",
tsk->comm,
write ? "write access to" : "read access from",
field, address,
field, (unsigned long) regs->cp0_epc,
field, (unsigned long) regs->regs[31]); #endif
在发生段异常的时候会打印当前是哪个进程出错,出错的epc和返回地址ra是多少。打开这段代码,这样可以得到发生段异常时的指令地址。还可以增加打印内核栈和寄存器的函数,例如:
#if 1
printk("do_page_fault() #2: sending SIGSEGV to %s for "
"invalid %s/n%0*lx (epc == %0*lx, ra == %0*lx)/n",
tsk->comm,
write ? "write access to" : "read access from",
field, address,
field, (unsigned long) regs->cp0_epc,
field, (unsigned long) regs->regs[31]); show_registers(regs);
dump_stack();
#endif
2.定位发生段异常的代码
打印的出错信息:
do_page_fault() #2: sending SIGSEGV to myprog for invalid read access from

可以看到,发生异常的程序地址(epc寄存器)是0x00479628,程序返回地址(ra寄存器)是0x00482228。使用gdb来定位,注意编译myprog程序时要带编译参数-g -ggdb,否则myprog中没有调试信息。

可以看到FW_CleanEnv()中的第325行调用的DropAll(&g_lLanDev)导致了段异常,具体是在DropAll()使用的util.h:107的宏
__list_del()产生的异常。
