From f197d75fcad125f41cc6e2fdf1b3ea733db995f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kieran Bingham Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:24:40 -0700 Subject: scripts/gdb: provide linux constants Some macro's and defines are needed when parsing memory, and without compiling the kernel as -g3 they are not available in the debug-symbols. We use the pre-processor here to extract constants to a dedicated module for the linux debugger extensions Top level Kbuild is used to call in and generate the constants file, while maintaining dependencies on autogenerated files in include/generated Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/bc3df9c25f57ea72177c066a51a446fc19e2c27f.1462865983.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Cc: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py') diff --git a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py index d5943eca19cd..6e0b0afd888a 100644 --- a/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py +++ b/scripts/gdb/vmlinux-gdb.py @@ -30,3 +30,4 @@ else: import linux.cpus import linux.lists import linux.proc + import linux.constants -- cgit v1.2.3
