.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ddb
|
|
.Nd in-kernel debugger
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd options DDB
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To enable history editing:
|
|
.Cd options DDB_HISTORY_SIZE=integer
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To disable entering
|
|
.Nm
|
|
upon kernel panic:
|
|
.Cd options DDB_ONPANIC=0
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the in-kernel debugger.
|
|
It may be entered at any time via a special key sequence, and
|
|
optionally may be invoked when the kernel panics.
|
|
.Sh ENTERING THE DEBUGGER
|
|
Unless
|
|
.Dv DDB_ONPANIC
|
|
is set to 0,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be activated whenever the kernel would otherwise panic.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may also be activated from the console.
|
|
In general, sending a break on a serial console will activate
|
|
.Nm "" .
|
|
There are also key sequences for each port that will activate
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from the keyboard:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width "mvme68k"
|
|
.It alpha
|
|
<Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Esc> on PC style keyboards.
|
|
.It amiga
|
|

keyboard.
|
|
.br
|
|
<Break> on serial console.
|
|
.It x68k
|
|
Interrupt switch on the body.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be explicitly activated by the debugging code in the kernel
|
|
if
|
|
.Cm DDB
|
|
is configured.
|
|
.Sh COMMAND SYNTAX
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The general command syntax is:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Ic command Ns Op Cm / Ns Ar modifier
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
.Op Cm , Ns Ar count
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The current memory location being edited is referred to as
|
|
.Ar dot ,
|
|
and the next location is
|
|
.Ar next .
|
|
They are displayed as hexadecimal numbers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Commands that examine and/or modify memory update
|
|
.Ar dot
|
|
to the address of the last line examined or the last location
|
|
modified, and set
|
|
.Ar next
|
|
to the next location to be examined or modified.
|
|
Other commands don't change
|
|
.Ar dot ,
|
|
and set
|
|
.Ar next
|
|
to be the same as
|
|
.Ar dot .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A blank line repeats the previous command from the address
|
|
.Ar next
|
|
with a
|
|
.Cm count
|
|
of 1 and no modifiers.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.Cm address
|
|
sets
|
|
.Em dot
|
|
to the address.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm address
|
|
is omitted,
|
|
.Em dot
|
|
is used.
|
|
A missing
|
|
.Cm count
|
|
is taken to be 1 for printing commands, and infinity for stack traces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has a
|
|
.Xr more 1 -like
|
|
functionality; if a number of lines in a command's output exceeds the number
|
|
defined in the
|
|
.Va lines
|
|
variable, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays
|
|
.Dq "--db more--"
|
|
and waits for a response, which may be one of:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width "<return>"
|
|
.It <return>
|
|
one more line.
|
|
.It <space>
|
|
one more page.
|
|
.It Ic q
|
|
abort the current command, and return to the command input mode.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
history editing is enabled (by defining the
|
|
.D1 Cd options DDB_HISTORY_SIZE=num
|
|
kernel option), then a history of the last
|
|
.Cm num
|
|
commands is kept.
|
|
The history can be manipulated with the following key sequences:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width "<Ctrl>-P"
|
|
.It <Ctrl>-P
|
|
retrieve previous command in history (if any).
|
|
.It <Ctrl>-N
|
|
retrieve next command in history (if any).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports the following commands:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 5n
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic examine Ns Op Cm / Ns Ar modifier
|
|
.Ar address Ns Op Cm , Ns Ar count
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Display the address locations according to the format in
|
|
.Ar modifier .
|
|
Multiple modifier formats display multiple locations.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar modifier
|
|
isn't specified, the modifier from the last use of
|
|
.Ic examine
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The valid format characters for
|
|
.Ar modifier
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width 2n
|
|
.It Cm b
|
|

|
|
.It Cm a
|
|
print the location being examined.
|
|
.It Cm A
|
|

|
|
The location is displayed as hex at the beginning of each line.
|
|
.It Cm i
|
|
display as a machine instruction.
|
|
.It Cm I
|
|

|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic x Ns Op Cm / Ns Ar modifier
|
|

.Xc
|
|
A synonym for
|
|
.Ic examine .
|
|
.It Ic xf
|
|
Examine forward.
|
|
.Ic xf
|
|
re-executes the most recent
|
|
.Ic execute
|
|
command with the same parameters except that
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Ar next .
|
|
.It Ic xb
|
|
Examine backward.
|
|
.Ic xb
|
|
re-executes the most recent
|
|
.Ic execute
|
|
command with the same parameters, except that
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
is set to the last start address minus its size.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic print Ns Op Cm /axzodurc
|
|
.Ar address Op Ar address ...
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Print addresses
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
according to the modifier character, as per
|
|
.Ic examine .
|
|
Valid modifiers are:
|
|
.Cm /a ,
|
|
.Cm /x ,
|
|
.Cm /z ,
|
|
.Cm /o ,
|
|
.Cm /d ,
|
|
.Cm /u ,
|
|
.Cm /r ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm /c
|
|
(as per
|
|
.Ic examine ) .
|
|
If no modifier is specified, the most recent one specified is used.
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
may be a string, and is printed
|
|
.Dq as-is .
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
print/x "eax = " $eax "\enecx = " $ecx "\en"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will produce:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
eax = xxxxxx
|
|
ecx = yyyyyy
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic write Ns Op Cm /bhl
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
.Ar expression Op Ar expression ...
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Write the
|
|
.Ar expression Ns s
|
|
at succeeding locations.
|
|
The unit size is specified with a modifier character, as per
|
|
.Ic examine .
|
|
Valid modifiers are:
|
|
.Cm /b ,
|
|
.Cm /h ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm /l .
|
|
If no modifier is specified,
|
|
.Cm /l
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Warning: since there is no delimiter between
|
|
.Ar expression Ns s ,
|
|
strange things may occur.
|
|
It's best to enclose each
|
|
.Ar expression
|
|
in parentheses.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic set
|
|
.Cm $ Ns Ar variable
|
|
.Op Cm =
|
|
.Ar expression
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Set the named variable or register to the value of
|
|
.Ar expression .
|
|
Valid variable names are described in
|
|
.Sx VARIABLES .
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Cm break Ns Op Cm /u
|
|
.Ar address Ns Op Cm , Ns Ar count
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Set a breakpoint at
|
|
.Ar address .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is supplied, continues
|
|
.Pq Ar count Ns -1
|
|
times before stopping at the breakpoint.
|
|
If the breakpoint is set, a breakpoint number is printed with
|
|
.Sq # .
|
|
This number can be used to
|
|
.Ic delete
|
|
the breakpoint, or to add
|
|
conditions to it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm /u
|
|
is specified,
|
|
set a breakpoint at a user-space address.
|
|
Without
|
|
.Cm /u ,
|
|
.Ar address
|
|
is considered to be in the kernel-space, and an address in the wrong
|
|
space will be rejected, and an error message will be emitted.
|
|
This modifier may only be used if it is supported by machine dependent
|
|
routines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Warning: if a user text is shadowed by a normal user-space debugger,
|
|
user-space breakpoints may not work correctly.
|
|
Setting a breakpoint at the low-level code paths may also cause
|
|
strange behavior.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic delete
|
|
.Ar "address" |
|
|
.Cm # Ns Ar number
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Delete a breakpoint.
|
|
The target breakpoint may be specified by
|
|
.Ar address ,
|
|
as per
|
|
.Ic break ,
|
|
or by the breakpoint number returned by
|
|
.Ic break
|
|
if it's prefixed with
|
|
.Sq Cm # .
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic step Ns Op Cm /p
|
|
.Op Cm , Ns Ar count
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Single-step
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
times.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm /p
|
|
is specified, print each instruction at each step.
|
|
Otherwise, only print the last instruction.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Warning: depending on the machine type, it may not be possible
|
|
to single-step through some low-level code paths or user-space
|
|
code.
|
|
On machines with software-emulated single-stepping (e.g., pmax),
|
|
stepping through code executed by interrupt handlers will probably
|
|
do the wrong thing.
|
|
.It Ic continue Ns Op Cm /c
|
|
Continue execution until a breakpoint or watchpoint.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm /c
|
|
is specified, count instructions while executing.
|
|
Some machines (e.g., pmax) also count loads and stores.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Warning: when counting, the debugger is really silently
|
|
single-stepping.
|
|
This means that single-stepping on low-level may cause strange
|
|
behavior.
|
|
.It Ic until Ns Op Cm /p
|
|
Stop at the next call or return instruction.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm /p
|
|
is specified, print the call nesting depth and the
|
|
cumulative instruction count at each call or return.
|
|
Otherwise, only print when the matching return is hit.
|
|
.It Ic next Ns Op Cm /p
|
|
Stop at the matching return instruction.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm /p
|
|
is specified, print the call nesting depth and the
|
|
cumulative instruction count at each call or return.
|
|
Otherwise, only print when the matching return is hit.

|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is the number of frames to be traced.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is omitted, all frames are printed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Warning: user-space stack trace is valid only if the machine dependent

|
|
(process, on
|
|
.Nx )
|
|
rather than by stack frame address.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
is interpreted using the current radix, whilst
|
|
.Ic ps
|
|
displays pids in decimal; prefix
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
with
|
|
.Sq 0t
|
|
to force it to be interpreted as decimal.

|
|
Valid modifiers are:

.Cm /h ,
|
|
and

|
|
If no modifier is specified,

.Cm /l
|
|
is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This command might fail in interesting ways if it doesn't find
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
This is because

|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't always recover from touching bad memory.
|
|
The optional

|
|
limits the search.
|
|
.It Ic reboot Op Ar flags
|

.Sh MACHINE-SPECIFIC COMMANDS
|
|
The "glue" code that hooks
|
|
.Nm
|
|
into the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel for any given port can also add machine specific commands
|
|
to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command parser.
|
|
All of these commands are preceded by the command word
|
|
.Em machine
|
|
to indicate that they are part of the machine-specific command
|
|
set (e.g.
|
|
.Ic "machine reboot"

.Sh VARIABLES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
accesses registers and variables as
|
|
.Cm $ Ns Ar name .
|
|
Register names are as per the
|
|
.Ic "show registers"
|
|
command.
|
|
Some variables are suffixed with numbers, and may have a modifier
|
|
following a colon immediately after the variable name.
|
|
For example, register variables may have a
|
|
.Sq u
|
|
modifier to indicate user register
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
.Li "$eax:u" ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Built-in variables currently supported are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width "maxwidth"
|
|

|
If non-zero (the default),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be invoked when the kernel panics.
|
|
If the kernel configuration option
|
|
.D1 Cd options DDB_ONPANIC=0
|
|
is used,
|
|
.Va onpanic
|
|
will be initialised to off.
|
|
