2019-05-15T02:52:52+00:00

These scripts have some pep8 style warnings.  Fix them up so that this
directory is all pep8 clean.

scripts/gdb: improve types abstraction for gdb python scripts

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

Change the read_u16 function so it accepts both 'str' and 'byte' as type
for the arguments.

When calling read_memory() from gdb API, depending on if it was built
with 2.7 or 3.X, the format used to return the data will differ ( 'str'
for 2.7, and 'byte' for 3.X ).

Add a function read_memoryview() to be able to get a 'memoryview' object
back from read_memory() both with python 2.7 and 3.X .

Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7
Tested with gdb 7.7

scripts/gdb: provide a dentry_name VFS path helper

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

Walk the VFS entries, pre-pending the iname strings to generate a full
VFS path name from a dentry.

scripts/gdb: provide exception catching parser

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

If we attempt to read a value that is not available to GDB, an exception
is raised.  Most of the time, this is a good thing; however on occasion
we will want to be able to determine if a symbol is available.

By catching the exception to simply return None, we can determine if we
tried to read an invalid value, without the exception taking our
execution context away from us

scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7

2015-02-17T22:34:54+00:00

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.

I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).

Main issues that needed to be resolved:

  * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
    __next__() instead (so let's just add both).

  * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
    in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
    where it was converting the object to str first and then
    calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
    we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
    we need to keep this behavior.

  * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
    which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
    methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
    python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
    and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.

This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

scripts/gdb: add get_gdbserver_type helper

2015-02-17T22:34:54+00:00

This helper probes the type of the gdb server.  Supported are QEMU and
KGDB so far.  Knowledge about the gdb server is required e.g.  to
retrieve the current CPU or current task.

scripts/gdb: add is_target_arch helper

This helper caches to result of "show architecture" and matches the
provided arch (sub-)string against that output.

scripts/gdb: add read_u16/32/64 helpers

2015-02-17T22:34:53+00:00

Add helpers for reading integers from target memory buffers.  Required
when caching the memory access is more efficient than reading individual
values via gdb.
