Hi,
When I debug ioctls, I get parameters which are pointers to structures
in user space.
I am unable to use the struct command to print these structures.
Currently I am using "rd -u" to read the content of user memory and
decode it based on the structure information I have.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to do this?
As an addendum to the steps I described in my last post, it's possible
that in your particular case that the ioctl-related data structures in
user space are also "known" by the kernel, i.e. structures that are
common to both user-space and kernel-space. If that's true,
then you don't need the "add-symbol-file" step -- just make
sure that you are in the crash context of the process that
owns the user-space instance, determine the user-space address
of the structure, and simply use the "struct -u" option.
