Hi All I wonder if it possible to have this feature - user defined symbol. for example, define inode1 = 0x1234 then in all place has this 0x1234 in bt or rd command, show inode1 instead of numeric value, This should be very helpful when these value pop up in a haystack of numeric values... Thanks
Why not just pipe the relevant command to grep to pin-point the locations of the value you're tracking? I know it's tempting, but creating a crash command/option for specific kernel-debug cases would soon become overwhelming. So I'm not particulary excited about this suggestion; maybe others would be... BTW, as you requested earler, I've got the "kmem -s <address>" output changed such that the base address of the object is shown instead of the <address> argument which may be offset into the slab object. With CONFIG_SLUB kernels, that's how it currently works, although I'm also fixing "kmem -S" and "kmem -s address" failures to handle some 2.6.25 kernel changes to SLUB object free-list tracking. And there still appears to be more SLUB-related churn being proposed on LKML on the horizon.
