- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of unsigned long. - Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist that uses kvaddr_t for n_value. - Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor is for a native kernel and memory image. - Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles(). It drops the unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for a symbol resolving function. Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross kernels require a resolver. - Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist. - Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address. - Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend. Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given vmcore format. - Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for powerpc cores). - Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used by the minidump backends. - Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE). Static assertions are present when a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants match the real ones. - Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms. This means that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation and read data from a vmcore of any platform. Tested on: amd64, i386, sparc64 (marius) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3341

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In kvm.h
|
|
.In nlist.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist "kvm_t *kd" "struct nlist *nl"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2 "kvm_t *kd" "struct kvm_nlist *nl"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
function retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list argument
|
|
.Fa \&nl .
|
|
This argument points to an array of nlist structures, terminated by
|
|
an entry whose
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr nlist 3 ) .
|
|
Each symbol is looked up using the
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field, and if found, the
|
|
corresponding
|
|
.Fa n_type
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa n_value
|
|
fields are filled in.
|
|
These fields are set
|
|
to 0 if the symbol is not found.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr kldsym 2
|
|
system call is used to locate symbols in live kernels.
|
|
This is a less than perfect
|
|
emulation of the nlist values but has the advantage of being aware of kernel
|
|
modules and is reasonably fast.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2
|
|
function retrieves the symbol table entries indicated by the name list argument
|
|
.Fa nl .
|
|
This argument points to an array of
|
|
.Vt "struct kvm_nlist"
|
|
structures,
|
|
terminated by an entry whose
|
|
.Fa n_name
|
|
field is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
These structures are similar to the nlist structures used by
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
except that the
|
|
.Fa n_value
|
|
field uses a different type
|
|
.Pq Vt kvaddr_t
|
|
to avoid truncation when examining non-native kernel images.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn kvm_nlist2
|
|
functions return the number of invalid entries found.
|
|
If the kernel symbol table was unreadable, -1 is returned.
