2017-07-12scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: use explicit encoding=utf8 errors=replaceLeonard Crestez1-3/+10
Use errors=replace because it is never desirable for lx-dmesg to fail on string decoding errors, not even if the log buffer is corrupt and we show incorrect info. The kernel will sometimes print utf8, for example the copyright symbol from jffs2. In order to make this work specify 'utf8' everywhere because python2 otherwise defaults to 'ascii'. In theory the second errors='replace' is not be required because everything that can be decoded as utf8 should also be encodable back to utf8. But it's better to be extra safe here. It's worth noting that this is definitely not true for encoding='ascii', unknown characters are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and they fail to encode back to ascii.

2017-07-12scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: cast log_buf to void* for addr fetchLeonard Crestez1-1/+1
In some cases it is possible for the str() conversion here to throw encoding errors because log_buf might not point to valid ascii. For example: (gdb) python print str(gdb.parse_and_eval("log_buf")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) Avoid this by explicitly casting to (void *) inside the gdb expression.

2017-06-02scripts/gdb: make lx-dmesg command work (reliably)André Draszik1-4/+5
lx-dmesg needs access to the log_buf symbol from printk.c. Unfortunately, the symbol log_buf also exists in BPF's verifier.c and hence gdb can pick one or the other. If it happens to pick BPF's log_buf, lx-dmesg doesn't work: (gdb) lx-dmesg Python Exception <class 'gdb.MemoryError'> Cannot access memory at address 0x0: Error occurred in Python command: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 (gdb) p log_buf $15 = 0x0 Luckily, GDB has a way to deal with this, see https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Symbols.html (gdb) info variables ^log_buf$ All variables matching regular expression "^log_buf$": File <linux.git>/kernel/bpf/verifier.c: static char *log_buf; File <linux.git>/kernel/printk/printk.c: static char *log_buf; (gdb) p 'verifier.c'::log_buf $1 = 0x0 (gdb) p 'printk.c'::log_buf $2 = 0x811a6aa0 <__log_buf> "" (gdb) p &log_buf $3 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf> (gdb) p &'verifier.c'::log_buf $4 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf> (gdb) p &'printk.c'::log_buf $5 = (char **) 0x8048b7d0 <log_buf> By being explicit about the location of the symbol, we can make lx-dmesg work again.

2016-05-23scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3Kieran Bingham1-2/+2
The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes for each line with a b'<text>' marker. To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default to 'UTF-8' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d67ccf93f2479c94cb3399262b9b796e0dbefcf2.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> Acked-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@gmail.com> Tested-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-05-23scripts/gdb: fix issue with dmesg.py and python 3.XDom Cote1-3/+4
When built against Python 3, GDB differs in the return type for its read_memory function, causing the lx-dmesg command to fail. Now that we have an improved read_16() we can use the new read_memoryview() abstraction to make lx-dmesg return valid data on both current Python APIs Tested with python 3.4 and 2.7 Tested with gdb 7.7 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/28477b727ff7fe3101fd4e426060e8a68317a639.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Dom Cote <buzdelabuz2+git@gmail.com> [kieran@bingham.xyz: Adjusted commit log to better reflect code changes] Tested-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> (Py2.7,Py3.4,GDB10) Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran@bingham.xyz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-02-17scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7Pantelis Koukousoulas1-1/+2
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).

2015-02-17scripts/gdb: add lx-dmesg commandJan Kiszka1-0/+64
This pokes into the log buffer of the debugged kernel, dumping it to the gdb console. Helping in case the target should or can no longer execute dmesg itself.
