Powerpc構(gòu)架系統(tǒng)內(nèi)核和內(nèi)核模塊調(diào)試

說(shuō)明：

此文檔的目標(biāo)系統(tǒng)為freescale MPC8349E-mITX,對(duì)其他采用powerPC,MIPS，ARM的芯片的系統(tǒng)亦具有參考意義。 此文檔中內(nèi)核調(diào)試為了簡(jiǎn)化，采用目標(biāo)系統(tǒng)中的UBOOT初始化目標(biāo)板，并通過(guò)UBOOT或者BDI2000加載內(nèi)核到目標(biāo)板的RAM中。

1. BDI2000配置：

下面是MPC8349E-mITX的BDI2000配置文件，

; BDI-2000 CONfiguraTIon file for the MPC8349E-mITX

; Tip: If after a reset, the BDI-2000 fails to halt at 0x100,

; you may need to power-down the bOArd for a few seconds.

[INIT]

; we use UBOOT to initialize the board

[TARGET]

CPUTYPE 8349

JTAGCLOCK 1

;STARTUP RESET

STARTUP RUN

BREAKMODE HARD

STEPMODE HWBP

BOOTADDR 0x00000100

;If you're getting Writing to workspace failed errors during flash operations,

;then try uncommenting this line instead. This moves the FLASH window to

;high memory, leaving low memory available for DDR.

RCW 0xb060a000 0x04040000 ;Set the HRCW to boot the image at 0xFE000000

MMU XLAT ;0xc0000000

;WORKSPACE 0x1000

;flash_image.bin is an image file of an entire 8MB flash region.

;Flash this file at 0xfe0000000 to restore all of flash.

;ERASE 0xFE000000 0x10000 127 ; 127 sectors @ 64KB each

;ERASE 0xFE7F0000 0x2000 8 ; 8 sectors @ 8KB each

;FILE $flash_image.bin

;Use these lines if you just want to flash U-Boot

ERASE 0xfe000000 0x10000? 4; Erase 384KB, each sector is 64KB

FILE? mpc8349e/u-boot131-mitx-gp.bin

[REGS]

FILE $reg8349e.def

以上配置文件的【HOST】段的IP要改為主機(jī)IP，關(guān)鍵的字段MMU XLAT 和PTBASE 是POWERPC和MIPS經(jīng)常需要設(shè)置的，關(guān)于PTBASE的具體設(shè)置，超出本文范圍，詳細(xì)情況請(qǐng)參考BDI2000的手冊(cè)

2.內(nèi)核修改和配置

為了能夠調(diào)試內(nèi)核，需要在內(nèi)核中的Makefile中增加如下調(diào)試選項(xiàng)：

CFLAGS 增加C代碼調(diào)試選項(xiàng)-g –ggdb

AFLAGS 增加匯編代碼調(diào)試選項(xiàng)：-Wa,-L -gdwarf-2

去掉CFLAGS編譯選項(xiàng)中-fomit-frAME-pointer

GCC的-fomit-frame-pointer選項(xiàng)是優(yōu)化函數(shù)棧回溯(stack backtrace)的，我們調(diào)試的時(shí)候需要提供函數(shù)回溯能力，所以我們要去掉這個(gè)選項(xiàng)，當(dāng)然，有的系統(tǒng)系統(tǒng)不受它的影響，或者說(shuō)它不起作用，為了統(tǒng)一，我們統(tǒng)一去掉它。

相對(duì)個(gè)案來(lái)說(shuō)，我是做如下改動(dòng)的：

--- Makefile 2008-07-08 03:07:38.000000000 +0800

+++ Makefile.debug 2008-07-08 03:06:04.000000000 +0800

通過(guò)以上修改后，系統(tǒng)的的調(diào)試信息簡(jiǎn)單的通過(guò)CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO宏來(lái)控制了，那么CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO宏又是從哪里來(lái)的呢?它其實(shí)是從內(nèi)核的配置文件.config里面來(lái)的。

一般內(nèi)核通過(guò)make menuconfig做配置的時(shí)候，都有

[*] Kernel debugging

[*] Compile the kernel with debug info

[*] Force gcc to inline functions marked 'inline' (2.6比較新的內(nèi)核有這一項(xiàng))
