如何将内核调试信息构建为单独的文件?

标签: linux linux-kernel arm debug-information

当我们共享自定义内核时,通常在没有调试信息的情况下提供。

sudo apt-get install linux-image - uname -r - dbgsym 类似,我想为自定义内核创建单独的调试信息文件。

他们普遍解释了{p> Herehere。我请求分享有关为整个Linux内核创建单独的调试信息文件的知识。

适用于示例程序

$ gcc -g calc.c

$ ls -l
 total 16
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jeyaram jeyaram 8424 Apr  8 09:44 a.out
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jeyaram jeyaram  246 Apr  8 09:32 calc.c

$ objcopy --only-keep-debug a.out a.debug
$ gcc calc.c -------------> compiling without debug info (skipped 'strip')
$ ls -l
total 20
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jeyaram jeyaram 4736 Apr  8 09:45 a.debug
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jeyaram jeyaram 7200 Apr  8 09:52 a.out
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jeyaram jeyaram  246 Apr  8 09:32 calc.c

$ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=a.debug a.out
$ gdb a.out

done.

但是在尝试使用vmlinux

$ objcopy --only-keep-debug vmlinux vmlinux.debug
objcopy: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `vmlinux'

想念什么?

vmlinux是二进制blob。您正在寻找的文件是vmlinux.bin(这是精灵中间人)。

像魅力一样工作:

  

objcopy --only-keep-debug vmlinux.bin vmlinux.debug

arm-linux-gnueabi-objcopy --only-keep-debug vmlinux vmlinux.debug可以正常使用。

$ ls -l vmlinux*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jeyaram jeyaram   7871108 Apr  8 11:24 vmlinux
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jeyaram jeyaram  92520922 Apr  8 11:21 vmlinux.debug
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jeyaram jeyaram 162974220 Apr  7 14:16 vmlinux.o
