I've posted a number of messages. If you're tracking -CURRENT, take a
look at the .gdbinit* files in /usr/src/sys/modules/vinum. The
Vinum-specific stuff won't help you much, but in .gdbinit.vinum.paths
there's this example:
define asf
set $file = files.tqh_first
set $found = 0
while ($found == 0)
p *$file
if (*$file->filename == 'v')
set $found = 1
else
set $file = $file->link.tqe_next
end
end
shell /usr/bin/objdump --section-headers /modules/vinum/vinum.ko | grep ' .text' | awk '{print "add-symbol-file /modules/vinum/vinum.ko \$file->address+0x" $4}' > .asf
source .asf
end
This kludge walks down the list of klds until it finds one with the
correct initial letter 'v' (see what I mean about kludge?) and creates
a file which it then sources in the last two lines. With a little
modification it should work for any one kld. Possibly you could fix
it to DTRT and make a command file for all klds.
