Greetings,
I have been sucessfully able to take Amit S. Kale (akale@veritas.com)
kgdb patch for 2.4.0-test9, and create a patch for 2.4.0-test12.
I am trying to create a patch for 2.4.1.. but gcc barfs with the
following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1-kgdb/kernel'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.1-kgdb/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -g -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -c -o sched.o sched.c
sched.c: In function `schedule':

make[1]: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1-kgdb'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be traced to include/asm_i386/system.h.. (switch_to)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#define prepare_to_switch() do { } while(0)
#Define switch_to(prev,next,last) do { \
asm volatile("pushl %%esi\n\t" \
"pushl %%edi\n\t" \
"pushl %%ebp\n\t" \
"movl %%esp,%0\n\t" /* save ESP */ \
"movl %3,%%esp\n\t" /* restore ESP */ \
"movl $1f,%1\n\t" /* save EIP */ \
"pushl %4\n\t" /* restore EIP */ \
"jmp __switch_to\n" \
"1:\t" \
"popl %%ebp\n\t" \
"popl %%edi\n\t" \
"popl %%esi\n\t" \
:"=m" (prev->thread.esp),"=m" (prev->thread.eip), \
"=b" (last) \
:"m" (next->thread.esp),"m" (next->thread.eip), \
"a" (prev), "d" (next), \
"b" (prev)); \
} while (0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone explain what is the problem here? I'm assuming that it's
one of the compile options.
The kgdb patch puts the following in the top level makefile...
and put a switch for $(CONFIG_X86_REMOTE_DEBUG) in the config tool.
The kernel compiles fine without the patch, and with the patch,
with the option turned off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CFLAGS := $(CPPFLAGS) -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
ifeq ($(CONFIG_X86_REMOTE_DEBUG),y)
CFLAGS += -g
else
CFLAGS += -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing
endif
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,
Paul Schulz
