1. 开启虚拟机，虚拟机运行到 kgdb: Waiting for connection from remote gdb

2. 在Host机上运行： socat tcp-listen:8888 /tmp/vbox2, 其中/tmp/vbox2为管道文件,它是目标机串口的重定向目的文件，socat将这个管道文件又重定向到tcp socket的8888端口。

3. 开启一个新的虚拟终端，cd path/to/kernel/source/tree, 然后执行gdb ./vmlinux

(gdb) set-remote

set remote baud rate to 115200c/s

set remote target to local tcp socket

(gdb) c

Continuing.

目标机会一直启动，直到提示输入用户名密码。

4. 进入目标机，输入用户名密码(推荐使用字符界面下的root用户)，输入g命令，目标机被断下，控制移交到Host机中的gdb中。(目标机root的用户目录中的.bashrc中添加一行alias g='echo g>/proc/sysrq-trigger')

5. 在Host机中的gdb中

(gdb) set-mod-break

set breakpoint in system module init function

Breakpoint 1 at 0xc014bac5: file kernel/module.c, line 2288.

(gdb) c

Continuing.

6. 在目标机中

insmod klogger2.ko

目标机再次断下，控制权移交Host机中的gdb

7. 在Host机中的gdb中

你可以调试自己些的LKM模块了

附gdb的初始化配置文件~/.gdbinit

define set-remote

echo set remote baud rate to 115200c/s\n

set remotebaud 115200

echo set remote target to local tcp socket\n

target remote tcp:localhost:8888

end

define set-mod-break

echo set breakpoint in system module init function\n

break kernel/module.c:2288

end

define print-mod-segment

set $sect_num=mod->sect_attrs->nsections

set $cur=0

while $cur < $sect_num

printf "Name:%-s Address:0x%x\n",mod->sect_attrs->attrs[$cur]->name,mod->sect_attrs->attrs[$cur]->address

set $cur=$cur+1

end

end

后记：gdb的调试脚本真难写，简单的字符串变量连接和等价判断都显得十分困难，不知道是我水平太差还是gdb的脚本功能太弱，总之比起Windbg来说，内核调试困难程度上了个等级。
