Re: [Xen-devel] pdb missing files?

Hi Kip,

Yes, that's exactly my line 394.

And, just for completeness,

root:05:10 PM:root $ ./gdbserver-xen 127.0.0.1:9999 --attach 10
dom0 op failed: No such process
Cannot attach to domain 10: Illegal seek (29)

Thanks,
-Jon

asked me to give the output from the two different runs of gdbserver-xen.


I actually meant when you gave it an invalid domain id, but that isn't a key
issue ...

That is a rather strange place for it to be blowing up. In the past there
were cases where it would blow up in xc_ptrace when it tried to dereference
an address that had not been successfully mapped to. In principle using
alloca could bite you if len were so long that you ran off your stack, but
you have a small stack and you're only reading 8 bytes. I'll see if I can
determine any more by spelunking at the assembly level.

Just to confirm that I'm looking at the same code, is your line 394:

buffer[i] = myptrace (xc_handle, PTRACE_PEEKTEXT, inferior_pid,
(PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE) addr, 0);
