Hi Jovi,
I read today about the ktap release in LWN and tried to give it a go on my
custom board, which contains a powerpc processor from Freescale called P2020
(e500v2 core).
I have two comments and a question:
1. I needed to enable CONFIG_RELAY in the kernel configuration, although this
is not mentioned in the requirements. Maybe you should add it.
Involve ktap mailing list :)
Thanks, you are right, I will add it.
2. I needed to add #include <linux/vmalloc.h> to ktap.c for compilation
which kernel version of the board? currently ktap can support kernel 3.1 or
later, older kernel need some patch to run ktap.
I haven't compile ktap in powerpc, so might you are right.
My kernel version is 3.4.41.
I now arrived to a situation where I insmod the ktapvm.ko on my board, but when
I run:
./ktap scripts/syscalls.kp
I get the following error:
open /sys/kernel/debug/ktap/ktapvm failed: No such file or directory
I checked and indeed there is no /sys/kernel/debug/ktap folder (debug folder is
empty).
I guess you are missing mount debugfs?
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
Also I will add this into ktap doc.
Yes, I was missing the mount. Thanks :)
Note that currently ktap is not stable enough to running in production system,
but I'm trying to make it more stable :)
I'm aware of that and I'm not putting it in production, but thanks for the
warning.
After I fixed the mount issue, I was able to run the syscalls script but the
kernel immediately crashed...
I will try to look into it.
This was the message from the kernel:
