注意: 这一节介绍了 FreeBSD 5.3 及更高版本中的 kgdb(1)。 在较早的版本中, 需要使用 gdb -k 来阅读内核的转存文件。
通常, 一旦得到了转存数据, 就很容易从中得到关于简单问题的有用信息了。 在开始使用
kgdb(1)
来调试崩溃转存文件之前, 您应找出调试版本的内核 (通常叫做 kernel.debug) 以及用于构建您的内核的源代码 (一般是 /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNCONF,
其中 KERNCONF 是通过 config(5) 所指定的
ident
)。 有了这两部分信息, 就可以开始着手调试了!
要进入调试器并从转存文件中获取信息, 至少需要完成下列操作:
# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNCONF # kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0
配合内核的源代码, 就可以像调试其他程序那样调试崩溃转存文件了。
第一个转存文件来自一 5.2-BETA 的内核, 导致内核崩溃的是相当深层次的原因。 下面的输出结果左侧加入了行号, 以便于阅读。 第一个回溯检查了指令指针, 并获得了调用栈的内容。 在第 41 行指定给 list 命令的地址, 可以在第 17 行找到。 如果您自己无法自行调试并解决问题, 多数内核开发人员都会要求您提供前述的信息以帮助他们找到问题所在。 不过, 如果您自己解决了问题, 一定要设法让它通过问题报告、 邮件列表, 或直接 commit 的方法回到源代码树上!

下一组回溯信息来自 FreeBSD 2 时代一个古老的转存文件, 但它更为棘手, 并展示了更多 gdb 的功能。 为了便于阅读, 对较长的行进行了折行处理, 并增加了行号。 这是一个现实环境中, 在开发pcvt 控制台驱动时发现的问题。

关于前述记录的一些说明:
这是一份从 DDB (参见下面的说明) 中直接获得的转存文件, 因此崩溃说明是 “because you said to!”, 而且其调用栈较长; 不过, 最初进入 DDB 的原因是在内核中发生了一次缺页 trap。
这是函数 trap()
在调用栈中的位置。
强制使用新的栈帧; 现在已经不再需要这样做了。 即使发生了 trap, 也可以认为栈帧指向了正确的位置。 通过观察源代码的第 403 行可以发现, 要么对指针 “tp” 的访问出现了问题, 要么访问数组时发生了越界。
这个指针看起来值得怀疑, 但它曾经是一个有效地址。
但是, 它很明显指到了不该指的位置, 因此我们找到错误了! (如果您不熟悉这段代码: tp->t_line 表示此控制台设备所用的线路, 它应该是一个较小的整数。)
提示: 如果您的系统经常崩溃, 并因此导致磁盘空间不足, 删除 /var/crash 中的 vmcore 文件应该能够省出大量的磁盘空间!
