Re: [seL4] Userspace debugging with QEMU/gdb

hbreak works! I can catch the breakpoint when I use hbreak cmd. Thanks alot for your help! On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 1:45 PM Mcleod, Kent (Data61, Kensington NSW) < Kent.Mcleod@data61.csiro.au> wrote:

Does it work if you try using hardware breakpoints? The camkes-vm-linux tutorial uses hardware virtualisation via kvm so the software breakpoints likely won't work. Replacing break with hbreak may fix your issue. ------------------------------ *From:* Devel on behalf of Jiusheng Liu < liujiusheng@gmail.com> *Sent:* Wednesday, 27 November 2019 1:51 PM *To:* devel@sel4.systems *Subject:* [seL4] Userspace debugging with QEMU/gdb

Hi,

From the page https://docs.sel4.systems/DebuggingGuide.html (section Userspace debugging), I know we can debug userspace process by command below:

---------------------------- cmd example start ---------------------------------------- gdb ./dynamic-2 Reading symbols from ./dynamic-2...done. (gdb) target remote :1234 Remote debugging using :1234 0x000000000000fff0 in ?? () (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x402011: file sel4-tutorials-manifest/dynamic-2/main.c, line 161. (gdb) c Continuing.

Breakpoint 1, main () at sel4-tutorials-manifest/dynamic-2/main.c:161 161 (gdb) ---------------------------- cmd example end ----------------------------------------

It works for normal userspace process (such as the example code in tutorials: https://docs.sel4.systems/Tutorials/dynamic-2.html ).

But when I want to debug the userspace process for the code in the tutorials page https://docs.sel4.systems/Tutorials/camkes-vm-linux.html (one virtual machine in seL4), I cannot catch the breakpoints.

So can you help me to explain why I cannot catch the breakpoint? and can we debug the vmm create process with qemu/gdb?

Thanks.
