sleeping_thread_to_g(9)
NAME
sleeping_thread_to_gdb_regs - Convert ptrace regs to GDB regs
SYNOPSIS
void sleeping_thread_to_gdb_regs(unsigned long * gdb_regs,
struct task_struct * p);
ARGUMENTS
- gdb_regs
- A pointer to hold the registers in the order GDB wants.
- p
- The struct task_struct of the desired process.
DESCRIPTION
Convert the register values of the sleeping process in p to the format
that GDB expects. This function is called when kgdb does not have
access to the struct pt_regs and therefore it should fill the gdb
registers gdb_regs with what has been saved in struct thread_struct
thread field during switch_to.
