Hi,
? ? ? ? I am trying to debug ?a subtle ?timing-dependent ?bug in kernel.
I found that ?if ?I could set up ?a break-point ?from within ?kernel
at run-time, this ?would help.
The condition to trigger is
"If ?0 is written ?at ?virtual address ?0xCEC8F004 , then stop".
The address is on kernel-stack
My ?SOC has a onchip ?JTAG-based ?debug block.
What I have in mind ?is ?to do as ?below -
signed long __sched schedule_timeout(signed long timeout)
{
?struct timer_list timer;
?unsigned long expire;
// some ?kernel code
// setup ?conditional break-point
// some ?kernel code ?runs here
// some ?kernel code
// some ?kernel code
// ?remove ?the break-point
// some ?kernel code ?runs here
}
Has anyone tried this ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks
