rdbfs \- remote kernel debugging file system
|

|

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B rdbfs
|
||
|
|
[
|
||
|
|
.B -d
|
||

|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Rdbfs
|
||
|
|
presents in
|
||
|
|
.BI /proc/ pid
|
||
|
|
(default
|
||
|
|
.BR /proc/1 )
|
||
|
|
a set of process files for debugging
|
||
|
|
a kernel over the serial line
|
||
|
|
.I device
|
||
|
|
(default
|
||
|
|
.BR /dev/eia0 ).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B text
|
||
|
|
file presented is just a copy of
|
||
|
|
.I text
|
||
|
|
(default
|
||
|
|
.BR /386/9pc ).
|
||
|
|
It can usually be ignored, since
|
||
|
|
the debuggers open kernel
|
||
|
|
files directly rather than
|
||
|
|
using
|
||
|
|
.BI /proc/ n /text\fR.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Kernels can be remotely debugged only when they are
|
||
|
|
suspended and serving
|
||
|
|
a textual debugging protocol over their serial lines.
|
||
|
|
Typing
|
||
|
|
.RB `` ^t^td ''
|
||
|
|
.RB (control- t ", control-" t ", d)"
|
||
|
|
at the console will cause the kernel to enter
|
||
|
|
this mode when it `panics'.
|
||
|
|
Typing
|
||
|
|
.RB `` ^t^tD ''
|
||
|
|
causes the kernel to enter this mode immediately.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Because the debugging protocol is textual, a console
|
||
|
|
provided by
|
||
|
|
.IR consolefs (4)
|
||
|
|
may be substituted for the serial device.
