Hello all,
I thought I know how to apply add-symbol-file command in gdb but now I'm
confused.
I'm using qemu to test booting linux using u-boot. (arm64)
I've loaded u-boot at 0x4000000 and loaded linux Image (binary, not elf) at
0x80010000. The dtb is loaded at 0x80000000.
(because qemu loads the dtb file at the first address of RAM (which is
0x80000000) I moved kernel image to 0x80010000)
After the PC jumps to linux, I can follow the source while the PC value uses
physical address.
I think this is possible that I gave gdb this command.
add-symbol-file vmlinux -s .head.text 0x80010000 -s .text 0x80020000
(using readelf -e vmlinux command, I can see the section offsets relative to
the start of the Image file. The output starts like this.
Section Headers:

[ 7] __ksymtab_gpl PROGBITS ffffffc0111129b8 011229b8
...
Now, at the end of __primary_switch function, the PC value becomes virtual.
But I can't follow kernel source from that point.
Until now, I have placed kernel Image at 0x80000000 and dtb was at
0x82800000 and just by giving "add-symbol-file vmlinux" again, there was no
problem following the kernel source in virtual address.
How should I give the add-symbol-file command when the Image is now at
0x80010000??
Any comment welcome.
Thank you.
Chan Kim
