NAME

bt - backtrace

SYNOPSIS
bt [-a|-c cpu(s)|-g|-r|-t|-T|-l|-e|-E|-f|-F|-o|-O|-v|-p] [-R ref] [-s [-x|d]]
[-I ip] [-S sp] [pid | task]

DESCRIPTION
Display a kernel stack backtrace. If no arguments are given, the stack
trace of the current context will be displayed.

       -a  displays the stack traces of the active task on each CPU.
           (only applicable to crash dumps)
       -A  same as -a, but also displays vector registers (S390X only).
       -p  display the stack trace of the panic task only.
           (only applicable to crash dumps)
       -c cpu  display the stack trace of the active task on one or more CPUs,
           which can be specified using the format "3", "1,8,9", "1-23",
           or "1,8,9-14". (only applicable to crash dumps)
       -g  displays the stack traces of all threads in the thread group of
           the target task; the thread group leader will be displayed first.
       -r  display raw stack data, consisting of a memory dump of the two
           pages of memory containing the task_union structure.
       -t  display all text symbols found from the last known stack location
           to the top of the stack. (helpful if the back trace fails)
       -T  display all text symbols found from just above the task_struct or
           thread_info to the top of the stack. (helpful if the back trace
           fails or the -t option starts too high in the process stack).
       -l  show file and line number of each stack trace text location.
       -e  search the stack for possible kernel and user mode exception frames.
       -E  search the IRQ stacks (x86, x86_64, arm64, and ppc64), and the
           exception stacks (x86_64) for possible exception frames; all other
           arguments except for -c will be ignored since this is not a context-
           sensitive operation.
       -f  display all stack data contained in a frame; this option can be
           used to determine the arguments passed to each function; on ia64,
           the argument register contents are dumped.
    -F[F]  similar to -f, except that the stack data is displayed symbolically
           when appropriate; if the stack data references a slab cache object,
           the name of the slab cache will be displayed in brackets; on ia64,
           the substitution is done to the argument register contents.  If -F
           is entered twice, and the stack data references a slab cache object,
           both the address and the name of the slab cache will be displayed
           in brackets.
       -v  check the kernel stack of all tasks for evidence of stack overflows.
           It does so by verifying the thread_info.task pointer, ensuring that
           the thread_info.cpu is a valid cpu number, and checking the end of 
           the stack for the STACK_END_MAGIC value.
       -o  arm64: use optional backtrace method; not supported on Linux 4.14 or
           later kernels.
           x86: use old backtrace method, permissible only on kernels that were
           compiled without the -fomit-frame_pointer.
           x86_64: use old backtrace method, which dumps potentially stale
           kernel text return addresses found on the stack.
       -O  arm64: use optional backtrace method by default; subsequent usage
           of this option toggles the backtrace method.
           x86: use old backtrace method by default, permissible only on kernels
           that were compiled without the -fomit-frame_pointer; subsequent usage
           of this option toggles the backtrace method.
           x86_64: use old backtrace method by default; subsequent usage of this
           option toggles the backtrace method.
   -R ref  display stack trace only if there is a reference to this symbol
           or text address.
       -s  display the symbol name plus its offset.
       -x  when displaying a symbol offset with the -s option, override the
           default output format with hexadecimal format.
       -d  when displaying a symbol offset with the -s option, override the
           default output format with decimal format.
    -I ip  use ip as the starting text location.
    -S sp  use sp as the starting stack frame address.
      pid  displays the stack trace(s) of this pid.
    taskp  displays the stack trace the the task referenced by this hexadecimal
           task_struct pointer.

Multiple pid and taskp arguments may be specified.

Note that all examples below are for x86 only. The output format will differ
for other architectures. x86 backtraces from kernels that were compiled
with the --fomit-frame-pointer CFLAG occasionally will drop stack frames,
or display a stale frame reference. When in doubt as to the accuracy of a
backtrace, the -t or -T options may help fill in the blanks.

Typically the arguments passed to a function will be the last values
that were pushed onto the stack by the next higher-numbered function, i.e.,
the lowest stack addresses in the frame above the called function's
stack frame.  That can be verified by disassembling the calling function.
For example, the arguments passed from sys_read() to pipe_read() above
are the file pointer, the user buffer address, the count, and a pointer
to the file structure's f_pos field.  Looking at the frame #3 data for
sys_read(), the last four items pushed onto the stack (lowest addresses)
are f27ae680, bffed4a3, 00000001, and f27ae6a0 -- which are the 4 arguments
above, in that order.  Note that the first (highest address) stack content
in frame #2 data for pipe_read() is c0148be8, which is the return address
back to sys_read().

NAME

gdb - gdb command

SYNOPSIS
gdb command …

DESCRIPTION
This command passes its arguments directly to gdb for processing.
This is typically not necessary, but where ambiguities between crash and
gdb command names exist, this will force the command to be executed by gdb.

Alternatively, if “set gdb on” is entered, the session will be run in a
mode where all commands are passed directly to gdb. When running in that
mode, native crash commands may be executed by preceding them with the
“crash” directive. To restore native crash mode, enter “set gdb off”.

EXAMPLES

crash> gdb help
List of classes of commands:

aliases -- Aliases of other commands
breakpoints -- Making program stop at certain points
data -- Examining data
files -- Specifying and examining files
internals -- Maintenance commands
obscure -- Obscure features
running -- Running the program
stack -- Examining the stack
status -- Status inquiries
support -- Support facilities
tracepoints -- Tracing of program execution without stopping the program
user-defined -- User-defined commands

Type "help" followed by a class name for a list of commands in that class.
Type "help" followed by command name for full documentation.
Command name abbreviations are allowed if unambiguous.

NAME

net - network command

SYNOPSIS
net [[-s | -S] [-xd] [-R ref] [pid | task]] [-a] [ -n [pid | task]] [-N addr]

DESCRIPTION
Displays various network related data.

If no arguments are entered, the list of network devices, names and IP
addresses are displayed. For kernels supporting namespaces, the -n option
may be used to display the list of network devices with respect to the
network namespace of a current context or a task specified by pid or task:

    -n  the namespace of the current context.
    -n pid  a process PID.
    -n task  a hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3

The -s and -S options display data with respect to the current context, but
may be appended with an argument to show the socket data with respect
to a specified task:

    -s  display open network socket/sock addresses, their family and type,
        and for INET and INET6 families, their source and destination
        addresses and ports.
    -s pid  same as above, for task with process PID pid.
    -s task  same as above, for task with hexadecimal task_struct pointer task.

    -S  displays open network socket/sock addresses followed by a dump
        of both data structures.
    -S pid  same as above, with respect to process PID.
    -S task  same as above, with respect to hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9
  • 10

The -R option, typically invoked from “foreach net”, and in conjunction
with the -s or -S options, searches for references to a socket address,
sock address, or a file descriptor; if found, only the referenced fd, socket
or sock data will be displayed:

-R ref  socket or sock address, or file descriptor.
  • 1

Other options:

    -a  display the ARP cache.
    -N addr  translates an IPv4 address expressed as a decimal or hexadecimal
        value into a standard numbers-and-dots notation.
    -x  override default output format with hexadecimal format.
    -d  override default output format with decimal format.

NAME

set - set a process context or internal crash variable

SYNOPSIS
set [[-a] [pid | taskp] | [-c cpu] | -p] | [crash_variable [setting]] | -v

DESCRIPTION
This command either sets a new context, or gets the current context for
display. The context can be set by the use of:

  pid  a process PID.
taskp  a hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
   -a  sets the pid or task as the active task on its cpu (dumpfiles only).
   -c cpu  sets the context to the active task on a cpu (dumpfiles only).
   -p  sets the context to the panic task, or back to the crash task on
       a live system.
   -v  display the current state of internal crash variables.
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7

If no argument is entered, the current context is displayed. The context
consists of the PID, the task pointer, the CPU, and task state. The task
state shows the bits found in both the task_struct state and exit_state
fields.

This command may also be used to set internal crash variables. If no value
argument is entered, the current value of the crash variable is shown. These
are the crash variables, acceptable arguments, and purpose:

      scroll  on | off       controls output scrolling.
      scroll  less           /usr/bin/less as the output scrolling program.
      scroll  more           /bin/more as the output scrolling program.
      scroll  CRASHPAGER     use CRASHPAGER environment variable as the
                             output scrolling program.
      radix  10 | 16         sets output radix to 10 or 16.
      refresh  on | off      controls internal task list refresh.
      print_max  number      set maximum number of array elements to print.
      print_array  on | off  if on, set gdb's printing of arrays to "pretty"
                             format, with one line per element.
      console  device-name   sets debug console device.
      debug  number          sets crash debug level.
      core  on | off         if on, drops core when the next error message
                             is displayed.
      hash  on | off         controls internal list verification.
      silent  on | off       turns off initialization messages; turns off
                             crash prompt during input file execution. 
                             (scrolling is turned off if silent is on)
      edit  vi | emacs       set line editing mode (from .crashrc file only).
      namelist  filename     name of kernel (from .crashrc file only).
      zero_excluded  on | off   
                             controls whether excluded pages, or pages that
                             are missing from an incomplete dumpfile, should
                             return zero-filled memory when read.
      null-stop  on | off    if on, gdb's printing of character arrays will
                             stop at the first NULL encountered.
      gdb  on | off          if on, the crash session will be run in a mode
                             where all commands will be passed directly to
                             gdb, and the command prompt will change to 
                             "gdb>"; when running in this mode, native crash
                             commands may be executed by preceding them with
                             the "crash" directive.
      scope  text-addr       sets the text scope for viewing the definition
                             of data structures; the "text-addr" argument
                             must be a kernel or module text address, which
                             may be expressed symbolically or as a hexadecimal
                             value.
       offline  show | hide  show or hide command output that is associated
                             with offline cpus.
       redzone  on | off     if on, CONFIG_SLUB object addresses displayed by
                             the kmem command will point to the SLAB_RED_ZONE
                             padding inserted at the beginning of the object.
       error  default | redirect | filename   
                             set the destination of error messages.
                             "default": error messages are always displayed
                             on the console; if the output of a command is
                             piped to an external command or redirected
                             to a file, the error messages are also sent
                             to the pipe or file.
                             "redirect": if the output of a command is piped
                             to an external command or redirected to a file,
                             error messages are only sent to the pipe or
                             file; otherwise they are displayed on the
                             console.
                             "filename": error messages are only sent to the
                             specified filename; they are not displayed on
                             the console and are not sent to a pipe or file.

Internal variables may be set in four manners:

1. entering the set command in $HOME/.crashrc.
2. entering the set command in .crashrc in the current directory.
3. executing an input file containing the set command.
4. during runtime with this command.

During initialization, $HOME/.crashrc is read first, followed by the
.crashrc file in the current directory. Set commands in the .crashrc file
in the current directory override those in $HOME/.crashrc. Set commands
entered with this command or by runtime input file override those
defined in either .crashrc file. Multiple set command arguments or argument
pairs may be entered in one command line.

NAME

vm - virtual memory

SYNOPSIS
vm [-p | -P vma | -M mm | -v | -m | -x | -d | [-R reference] [pid | task]]
[-f vm_flags]

DESCRIPTION
This command displays basic virtual memory information of a context,
consisting of a pointer to its mm_struct and page dirctory, its RSS and
total virtual memory size; and a list of pointers to each vm_area_struct,
its starting and ending address, vm_flags value, and file pathname. If no
arguments are entered, the current context is used. Additionally, the -p
option translates each virtual page of each VM area to its physical address.
The -R option, typically invoked from “foreach vm”, searches for references
to a supplied number, address, or filename argument, and prints only the
essential information leading up to and including the reference.
Alternatively, the -m or -v options may be used to dump the task’s mm_struct
or all of its vm_area_structs respectively. The -p, -v, -m, -R and -f
options are all mutually exclusive.

        -p    translate each virtual page to its physical address, or if
              the page is not mapped, its swap device and offset, or
              filename and offset.
    -P vma    similar to -p, but only translate the pages belonging to the
              specified VM area of a context.
     -M mm    if the mm_struct address has been removed from the task_struct
              of an exiting task, the virtual memory data cannot be displayed.
              However, if the address can be determined from the kernel stack,
              it can be entered manually in order to try to resurrect the
              virtual memory data of the task.
        -R    reference search for references to this number or filename.
        -m    dump the mm_struct assocated with the task.
        -v    dump all of the vm_area_structs associated with the task.
        -x    override the default output format for the -m or -v options
              with hexadecimal format.
        -d    override the default output format for the -m or -v options
              with decimal format.
 -f vm_flags  translate the bits of a FLAGS (vm_flags) value.
       pid    a process PID.
      task    a hexadecimal task_struct pointer.

NAME

p - print the value of an expression

SYNOPSIS
p [-x|-d][-u] [expression | symbol[:cpuspec]]

DESCRIPTION
This command passes its arguments on to gdb “print” command for evaluation.

expression  an expression to be evaluated.
    symbol  a kernel symbol.
  :cpuspec  CPU specification for a per-cpu symbol:
              :             CPU of the currently selected task.
              :a[ll]        all CPUs.
              :#[-#][,...]  CPU list(s), e.g. "1,3,5", "1-3",
                            or "1,3,5-7,10".
        -x  override default output format with hexadecimal format.
        -d  override default output format with decimal format.
        -u  the expression evaluates to a user address reference.

The default output format is decimal, but that can be changed at any time
with the two built-in aliases “hex” and “dec”. Alternatively, there
are two other built-in aliases, “px” and “pd”, which force the command
output to be displayed in hexadecimal or decimal, without changing the
default mode.

EXAMPLES
Print the contents of jiffies:

crash> p jiffies
jiffies = $6 = 166532620

NAME

sig - task signal handling

SYNOPSIS
sig [[-l] | [-s sigset]] | [-g] [pid | taskp] …

DESCRIPTION
This command displays signal-handling data of one or more tasks. Multiple
task or PID numbers may be entered; if no arguments are entered, the signal
handling data of the current context will be displayed. The default display
shows:

1.  A formatted dump of the "sig" signal_struct structure referenced by
    the task_struct.  For each defined signal, it shows the sigaction
    structure address, the signal handler, the signal sigset_t mask 
    (also expressed as a 64-bit hexadecimal value), and the flags.
2.  Whether the task has an unblocked signal pending.
3.  The contents of the "blocked" and "signal" sigset_t structures
    from the task_struct/signal_struct, both of which are represented 
    as a 64-bit hexadecimal value.
4.  For each queued signal, private and/or shared, if any, its signal
    number and associated siginfo structure address.

The -l option lists the signal numbers and their name(s). The -s option
translates a 64-bit hexadecimal value representing the contents of a
sigset_t structure into the signal names whose bits are set.

    pid  a process PID.
  taskp  a hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
     -g  displays signal information for all threads in a task's 
         thread group.
     -l  displays the defined signal numbers and names.
     -s sigset  translates a 64-bit hexadecimal value representing a sigset_t
         into a list of signal names associated with the bits set.

NAME

vtop - virtual to physical

SYNOPSIS
vtop [-c [pid | taskp]] [-u|-k] address …

DESCRIPTION
This command translates a user or kernel virtual address to its physical
address. Also displayed is the PTE translation, the vm_area_struct data
for user virtual addresses, the mem_map page data associated with the
physical page, and the swap location or file location if the page is
not mapped. The -u and -k options specify that the address is a user
or kernel virtual address; -u and -k are not necessary on processors whose
virtual addresses self-define themselves as user or kernel. User addresses
are translated with respect to the current context unless the -c option
is used. Kernel virtual addresses are translated using the swapper_pg_dir
as the base page directory unless the -c option is used.

-u                 The address is a user virtual address; only required
                  on processors with overlapping user and kernel virtual
                  address spaces.
-k                 The address is a kernel virtual address; only required
                  on processors with overlapping user and kernel virtual
                  address spaces.
-c [pid | taskp]   Translate the virtual address from the page directory
                  of the specified PID or hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
                  However, if this command is invoked from "foreach vtop",
                  the pid or taskp argument should NOT be entered; the
                  address will be translated using the page directory of
                  each task specified by "foreach".

NAME

dev - device data

SYNOPSIS
dev [-i | -p | -d | -D ] [-V | -v index [file]]

DESCRIPTION
If no argument is entered, this command dumps character and block
device data.

-i  display I/O port usage; on 2.4 kernels, also display I/O memory usage.
-p  display PCI device data.
-d  display disk I/O statistics:
     TOTAL: total number of allocated in-progress I/O requests
      SYNC: I/O requests that are synchronous
     ASYNC: I/O requests that are asynchronous
      READ: I/O requests that are reads (older kernels)
     WRITE: I/O requests that are writes (older kernels)
       DRV: I/O requests that are in-flight in the device driver.
            If the device driver uses blk-mq interface, this field
            shows N/A(MQ).  If not available, this column is not shown.
-D  same as -d, but filter out disks with no in-progress I/O requests.

If the dumpfile contains device dumps:

-V  display an indexed list of all device dumps present in the vmcore,
        showing their file offset, size and name.
-v  index  select and display one device dump based upon an index value
        shown by the -V option, shown in a default human-readable format;
        alternatively, the "rd -f" option along with its various format
        options may be used to further tailor the output.

NAME

ps - display process status information

SYNOPSIS
ps [-k|-u|-G|-y policy] [-s] [-p|-c|-t|-[l|m][-C cpu]|-a|-g|-r|-S|-A]
[pid | task | command] …

DESCRIPTION
This command displays process status for selected, or all, processes
in the system. If no arguments are entered, the process data is
is displayed for all processes. Specific processes may be selected
by using the following identifier formats:

   pid  a process PID.
  task  a hexadecimal task_struct pointer.
  • 1
  • 2

command a command name. If a command name is made up of letters that
are all numerical values, precede the name string with a “”.
If the command string is enclosed within “’” characters, then
the encompassed string must be a POSIX extended regular expression
that will be used to match task names.

The process list may be further restricted by the following options:

    -k  restrict the output to only kernel threads.
    -u  restrict the output to only user tasks.
    -G  display only the thread group leader in a thread group.
    -y policy  restrict the output to tasks having a specified scheduling policy
        expressed by its integer value or by its (case-insensitive) name;
        multiple policies may be entered in a comma-separated list:
          0 or NORMAL
          1 or FIFO
          2 or RR
          3 or BATCH
          4 or ISO
          5 or IDLE
          6 or DEADLINE

The process identifier types may be mixed. For each task, the following
items are displayed:

1. the process PID.
2. the parent process PID.
3. the CPU number that the task ran on last.
4. the task_struct address or the kernel stack pointer of the process.
   (see -s option below)
5. the task state (RU, IN, UN, ZO, ST, TR, DE, SW, WA, PA, ID, NE).
6. the percentage of physical memory being used by this task.
7. the virtual address size of this task in kilobytes.
8. the resident set size of this task in kilobytes.
9. the command name.

The default output shows the task_struct address of each process under a
column titled “TASK”. This can be changed to show the kernel stack
pointer under a column titled “KSTACKP”.

   -s  replace the TASK column with the KSTACKP column.
  • 1

On SMP machines, the active task on each CPU will be highlighted by an
angle bracket (">") preceding its information. If the crash variable
“offline” is set to “hide”, the active task on an offline CPU will
be highlighted by a “-” preceding its information.

Alternatively, information regarding parent-child relationships,
per-task time usage data, argument/environment data, thread groups,
or resource limits may be displayed:

   -p  display the parental hierarchy of selected, or all, tasks.
   -c  display the children of selected, or all, tasks.
   -t  display the task run time, start time, and cumulative user
       and system times.
   -l  display the task's last-run timestamp value, using either the
       task_struct's last_run value, the task_struct's timestamp value
       or the task_struct's sched_entity last_arrival value, whichever
       applies, of selected, or all, tasks; the list is sorted with the
       most recently-run task (with the largest timestamp) shown first,
       followed by the task's current state.
   -m  similar to -l, but the timestamp value is translated into days,
       hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds since the task was
       last run on a cpu.
   -C cpus  only usable with the -l or -m options, dump the timestamp data
       in per-cpu blocks, where the cpu[s] can be specified as "1,3,5",
       "1-3", "1,3,5-7,10", "all", or "a" (shortcut for "all").
   -a  display the command line arguments and environment strings of
       selected, or all, user-mode tasks.
   -g  display tasks by thread group, of selected, or all, tasks.
   -r  display resource limits (rlimits) of selected, or all, tasks.
   -S  display a summary consisting of the number of tasks in a task state.
   -A  display only the active task on each cpu.

NAME

struct - structure contents

SYNOPSIS
struct struct_name[.member[,member]][-o][-l offset][-rfuxdp]
[address | symbol][:cpuspec] [count | -c count]

DESCRIPTION
This command displays either a structure definition, or a formatted display
of the contents of a structure at a specified address. When no address is
specified, the structure definition is shown along with the structure size.
A structure member may be appended to the structure name in order to limit
the scope of the data displayed to that particular member; when no address
is specified, the member’s offset and definition are shown.

struct_name  name of a C-code structure used by the kernel.
    .member  name of a structure member; to display multiple members of a
             structure, use a comma-separated list of members.  If any
             member contains an embedded structure, or the member is an 
             array, the output may be restricted to just the embedded 
             structure or an array element by expressing the member argument
             as "member.member" or "member[index]"; embedded member
             specifications may extend beyond one level deep, by expressing
             the member argument as "member.member.member...".
         -o  show member offsets when displaying structure definitions; 
             if used with an address or symbol argument, each member will
             be preceded by its virtual address.
  -l offset  if the address argument is a pointer to a structure member that
             is contained by the target data structure, typically a pointer
             to an embedded list_head, the offset to the embedded member may
             be entered in either of the following manners:
               1. in "structure.member" format.
               2. a number of bytes. 
         -r  raw dump of structure data.
         -f  address argument is a dumpfile offset.
         -u  address argument is a user virtual address in the current
             context.
         -x  override default output format with hexadecimal format.
         -d  override default output format with decimal format.
         -p  if a structure member is a pointer value, show the member's
             data type on the output line; and on the subsequent line(s),
             dereference the pointer, display the pointer target's symbol
             value in brackets if appropriate, and if possible, display the
             target data; requires an address argument.
    address  hexadecimal address of a structure; if the address points
             to an embedded list_head structure contained within the
             target data structure, then the "-l" option must be used.
     symbol  symbolic reference to the address of a structure.
   :cpuspec  CPU specification for a per-cpu address or symbol:
               :             CPU of the currently selected task.
               :a[ll]        all CPUs.
               :#[-#][,...]  CPU list(s), e.g. "1,3,5", "1-3",
                             or "1,3,5-7,10".
      count  count of structures to dump from an array of structures;
             if used, this must be the last argument entered.
   -c count  "-c" is only required if "count" is not the last argument
             entered or if a negative number is entered; if a negative
             value is entered, the (positive) "count" structures that
             lead up to and include the target structure will be displayed.

Structure data, sizes, and member offsets are shown in the current output
radix unless the -x or -d option is specified.

Please note that in the vast majority of cases, the “struct” command
name may be dropped; if the structure name does not conflict with any crash
or gdb command name, then the “struct_name[.member]” argument will be
recognized as a structure name, and this command automatically executed.
See the NOTE below.

EXAMPLES
Display the vm_area_struct at address c1e44f10:

crash> struct vm_area_struct c1e44f10
struct vm_area_struct {
  vm_mm = 0xc2857750,

NAME

waitq - list tasks queued on a wait queue

SYNOPSIS
waitq [ symbol ] | [ struct.member struct_addr ] | [ address ]

DESCRIPTION
This command walks the wait queue list displaying the tasks which
are blocked on the specified wait queue. The command differentiates
between the old- and new-style wait queue structures used by the kernel.
It can be invoked with the following argument types:

                 symbol  a global symbol of a wait queue.
  • 1

struct.member struct_addr a structure name and wait queue member combination
followed by the structure’s hexadecimal address.
address a hexadecimal wait queue pointer.

EXAMPLES

Find out if any tasks are blocked on the “buffer_wait” wait queue:

crash> waitq buffer_wait
wait queue "buffer_wait" (c02927f0) is empty
  • 1
  • 2

See who is blocked on the “wait_chldexit” queue of task c5496000:

NAME

dis - disassemble

SYNOPSIS
dis [-rfludxs][-b [num]] [address | symbol | (expression)] [count]

DESCRIPTION
This command disassembles source code instructions starting (or ending) at
a text address that may be expressed by value, symbol or expression:

        -r  (reverse) displays all instructions from the start of the 
            routine up to and including the designated address.
        -f  (forward) displays all instructions from the given address 
            to the end of the routine.
        -l  displays source code line number data in addition to the 
            disassembly output.
        -u  address is a user virtual address in the current context;
            otherwise the address is assumed to be a kernel virtual address.
            If this option is used, then -r and -l are ignored.
        -x  override default output format with hexadecimal format.
        -d  override default output format with decimal format.
        -s  displays the filename and line number of the source code that
            is associated with the specified text location, followed by a
            source code listing if it is available on the host machine.
            The line associated with the text location will be marked with
            an asterisk; depending upon gdb's internal "listsize" variable,
            several lines will precede the marked location. If a "count"
            argument is entered, it specifies the number of source code
            lines to be displayed after the marked location; otherwise
            the remaining source code of the containing function will be
            displayed.
  -b [num]  modify the pre-calculated number of encoded bytes to skip after
            a kernel BUG ("ud2a") instruction; with no argument, displays
            the current number of bytes being skipped. (x86 and x86_64 only)
   address  starting hexadecimal text address.
    symbol  symbol of starting text address.  On ppc64, the symbol
            preceded by '.' is used.

(expression) expression evaluating to a starting text address.
count the number of instructions to be disassembled (default is 1).
If no count argument is entered, and the starting address
is entered as a text symbol, then the whole routine will be
disassembled. The count argument is supported when used with
the -r and -f options.

NAME

irq - IRQ data

SYNOPSIS
irq [[[index …] | -u ] | -d | -b | -a | -s [-c cpu]]

DESCRIPTION
This command collaborates the data in an irq_desc_t, along with its
associated hw_interrupt_type and irqaction structure data, into a
consolidated per-IRQ display. For kernel versions 2.6.37 and later
the display consists of the irq_desc/irq_data address, its irqaction
address(es), and the irqaction name strings. Alternatively, the
intel interrupt descriptor table, bottom half data, cpu affinity for
in-use irqs, or kernel irq stats may be displayed. If no index value
argument(s) nor any options are entered, the IRQ data for all IRQs will
be displayed.

index   a valid IRQ index.
   -u   dump data for in-use IRQs only.
   -d   dump the intel interrupt descriptor table.
   -b   dump bottom half data.
   -a   dump cpu affinity for in-use IRQs.
   -s   dump the kernel irq stats; if no cpu specified with -c, the
        irq stats of all cpus will be displayed.
   -c cpu   only usable with the -s option, dump the irq stats of the 
        specified cpu[s]; cpu can be specified as "1,3,5", "1-3",
        "1,3,5-7,10", "all", or "a" (shortcut for "all").

whatis - search symbol table for data or type information

SYNOPSIS
whatis [[-o] [struct | union | typedef | symbol]] |
[[-r [size|range]] [-m member]]

DESCRIPTION
This command displays the definition of structures, unions, typedefs or
text/data symbols:

struct  a structure name. The output is the same as if the "struct"
        command was used.
 union  a union name. The output is the same as if the "union" command
        was used.
    -o  display the offsets of structure/union members.
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

typedef a typedef name. If the typedef translates to a structure or union
the output is the same as if the “struct” or “union” command
was used. If the typedef is a primitive datatype, the one-line
declaration is displayed.
symbol a kernel symbol.

Alternatively, a search can be made for data structures of a given size or
size range, that contain a member of a given type, or contain a pointer to
given type. The -r and -m options may be used alone or in conjunction with
one another:

   -r size  search for structures of this exact size.
   -r range  search for structures of a range of sizes, expressed as "low-high".
   -m member  search for structures that contain a member of this data type, or
        that contain a pointer to this data type; if a structure contains 
        another structure, the members of the embedded structure will also
        be subject to the search. The member argument may also be expressed
        as a substring of a member's data type.

NAME

eval - evaluate

SYNOPSIS
eval [-b][-l] (expression) | value

DESCRIPTION
This command evaluates an expression or numeric value, and displays its
result in hexadecimal, decimal, octal and binary. If the resultant value
is an integral number of gigabytes, megabytes, or kilobytes, a short-hand
translation of the number will also be shown next to the hexadecimal
value. If the most significant bit is set, the decimal display will show
both unsigned and signed (negative) values. Expressions must of the format
(x operator y), where “x” and “y” may be either numeric values or
symbols. The list of operators are:

                 +  -  &  |  ^  *  %  /  <<  >>
  • 1

Enclosing the expression within parentheses is optional except when the
“|”, “<<” or “>>” operators are used. The single “value” argument may
be a number or symbol. Number arguments must be hexadecimal or decimal.
A leading “0x” identifies a number as hexadecimal, but is not required
when obvious. Numbers may be followed by the letters “k” or “K”, “m”
or “M”, and “g” or “G”, which multiplies the value by a factor of 1024,
1 megabyte or 1 gigabyte, respectively. Numeric arguments may be preceded
by the one’s complement operator ~.

-b  Indicate which bit positions in the resultant value are set.
-l  Numeric arguments are presumed to be 64-bit values, and the result
    will be expressed as a 64-bit value. (ignored on 64-bit processors)
    However, if either operand or the resultant value are 64-bit values,
    then the result will be also be expressed as a 64-bit value.
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3

The -b and -l options must precede the expression or value arguments.

NAME

kmem - kernel memory

SYNOPSIS
kmem [-f|-F|-c|-C|-i|-v|-V|-n|-z|-o|-h] [-p | -m member[,member]]
[[-s|-S|-r] [slab] [-I slab[,slab]]] [-g [flags]] [[-P] address]]

DESCRIPTION
This command displays information about the use of kernel memory.

    -f  displays the contents of the system free memory headers.
        also verifies that the page count equals nr_free_pages.
    -F  same as -f, but also dumps all pages linked to that header.
    -c  walks through the page_hash_table and verifies page_cache_size.
    -C  same as -c, but also dumps all pages in the page_hash_table.
    -i  displays general memory usage information
    -v  displays the mapped virtual memory regions allocated by vmalloc().
    -V  displays the kernel vm_stat table if it exists, or in more recent
        kernels, the vm_zone_stat, vm_node_stat and vm_numa_stat tables,
        the cumulative page_states counter values if they exist, and/or 
        the cumulative, vm_event_states counter values if they exist.
    -n  display memory node, memory section, and memory block data
        and state; the state of each memory section state is encoded
        as "P", "M", "O" and/or "E", meaning SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT,
        SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP, SECTION_IS_ONLINE and SECTION_IS_EARLY.
    -z  displays per-zone memory statistics.
    -o  displays each cpu's offset value that is added to per-cpu symbol
        values to translate them into kernel virtual addresses.
    -h  display the address of hugepage hstate array entries, along with
        their hugepage size, total and free counts, and name.
    -p  displays basic information about each page structure in the system
        mem_map[] array, made up of the page struct address, its associated
        physical address, the page.mapping, page.index, page._count and
        page.flags fields.
    -m member  similar to -p, but displays page structure contents specified by
        a comma-separated list of one or more struct page members.  The
        "flags" member will always be expressed in hexadecimal format, and
        the "_count" and "_mapcount" members will always be expressed
        in decimal format.  Otherwise, all other members will be displayed
        in hexadecimal format unless the output radix is 10 and the member
        is a signed/unsigned integer.  Members that are data structures may
        be specified either by the data structure's member name, or expanded
        to specify a member of the data structure.  For example, "-m lru"
        refers to a list_head data structure, and both the list_head.next
        and list_head.prev pointer values will be displayed, whereas if
        "-m lru.next" is specified, just the list_head.next value will
        be displayed.
    -s  displays basic kmalloc() slab data.
    -S  displays all kmalloc() slab data, including all slab objects,
        and whether each object is in use or is free.  If CONFIG_SLUB,
        slab data for each per-cpu slab is displayed, along with the
        address of each kmem_cache_node, its count of full and partial
        slabs, and a list of all tracked slabs.
    -r  displays the accumulated basic kmalloc() slab data of each
        root slab cache and its children.  The kernel must contain the
        "slab_root_caches" list_head. (currently only available if
        CONFIG_SLUB)

slab when used with -s, -S or -r, limits the command to only the slab
cache of name “slab”. If the slab argument is “list”, then
all slab cache names and addresses are listed.
-I slab when used with -s, -S or -r, one or more slab cache names in a
comma-separated list may be specified as slab caches to ignore.
