Hi,
I'm writing a small thread library based on KSE.
I've got some initial code ready that performs an upcall when I create a new KSE.
However, this code only works on a physical machine. When I run FreeBSD on VMware, my program does not appear to perform the upcall. I know that it's not upcalling because I intentionally seg fault in my upcall function. (I also put a gdb breakpoint at the upcall function, which does not hit).
I've tried this on a stock 6.2 RELEASE Kernel (Physical Machine) and on 6.2 RELEASE and 6.2 RELEASE-p8 (VM).
My /proc does not appear to be set up, so I can't use 'truss' to figure out if the KSE Syscalls are actually being called.
truss: cannot open /proc/curproc/mem: No such file or directory
truss: cannot open1 /proc/1044/mem: No such file or directory
I wrote a small threaded program using pthreads, and that appears to work ok on VMware.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
Any suggestions to help me debug?
Thanks.
- Akshay
