I am not sure why the libkvm doesn't implement reading from memory space when checking core dump. Who can give some comments on this? If it is possible, I will try to implement it. I found kgdb is not easy to use when checking a core dump. And hackers want users to collect the information regarding to the kernel panic. It is not easy to let everyone understand kernel structures. So I have implemented two new command in the kgdb to help users checking coredump. One is kldstat, the other is ps. Anyone interesing this? or you think these functions are no use. Please let me know your option. Thanks. -Jun Su Newbie in Freebsd.
