用GDB反彙編調試linux內核

在搭建好linux內核調試環境之後還會遇到各種問題，比如linux內核是不允許已最低優化等級編譯的，因此有時候打印一個變量值就會顯示 這個時候就需要採用其它的方式來顯示變量值了，反彙編就是其中一種方式：

當調試linux模塊初始化函數的時候（http://blog.csdn.net/xsckernel/article/details/8159576）運行到 文件kernel/module.c ，函數add_sect_attrs 第1237行 時

for (i = 0; i < info->hdr->e_shnum; i++)
{
    Elf_Shdr* sec = &info->sechdrs[i];

    if (sect_empty(sec)) {
        continue;
    }

    sattr->address = sec->sh_addr;
    sattr->name = kstrdup(info->secstrings + sec->sh_name,
                          GFP_KERNEL);

    if (sattr->name == NULL) {
        goto out;
    }

    sect_attrs->nsections++;
    sysfs_attr_init(&sattr->mattr.attr);
    sattr->mattr.show = module_sect_show;
    sattr->mattr.store = NULL;
    sattr->mattr.attr.name = sattr->name;
    sattr->mattr.attr.mode = S_IRUGO;
    *(gattr++) = &(sattr++)->mattr.attr;
}

打印sattr->address 則會顯示變量已被優化：

(gdb) p sattr ->address   
value has been optimized out

(gdb) p $eip
$2 = (void (*)()) 0xc107e00e <sys_init_module+5089>

(gdb) disassemble /r 0xc107e00e,0xc107e04e

從反彙編中不難看出此時寄存器esi指向結構體sattr。 下斷：

(gdb) b *0xc107e01d  
Breakpoint 3 at 0xc107e01d: file kernel/module.c, line 1237.  

這個點相當於調用完kstrdup 之後執行的第一條指令，此時eax存放elf 格式的節的名字：

(gdb) b *0xc107e01d  
Breakpoint 3 at 0xc107e01d: file kernel/module.c, line 1237.  
(gdb) c  
Continuing.
