.Sh NAME
.Nm ddb
.Nd interactive kernel debugger
.Sh SYNOPSIS
In order to enable kernel debugging facilities include:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd options KDB
.Cd options DDB
.Ed
.Pp
To prevent activation of the debugger on kernel
.Xr panic 9 :
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd options KDB_UNATTENDED
.Ed
.Pp
In order to print a stack trace of the current thread on the console
for a panic:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd options KDB_TRACE
.Ed
.Pp
To print the numerical value of symbols in addition to the symbolic
representation, define:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd options DDB_NUMSYM
.Ed
.Pp
To enable the
.Xr gdb 1
backend, so that remote debugging with
.Xr kgdb 1
is possible, include:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd options GDB
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
kernel debugger is an interactive debugger with a syntax inspired by
.Xr gdb 1 .
If linked into the running kernel,
it can be invoked locally with the
.Ql debug
.Xr keymap 5
action, usually mapped to Ctrl+Alt+Esc, or by setting the
.Va debug.kdb.enter
sysctl to 1.
The debugger is also invoked on kernel
.Xr panic 9
if the
.Va debug.debugger_on_panic
.Xr sysctl 8
MIB variable is set non-zero,
which is the default
unless the
.Dv KDB_UNATTENDED
option is specified.
.Pp
The current location is called
.Va dot .
The
.Va dot
is displayed with
a hexadecimal format at a prompt.
The commands
.Ic examine
and
.Ic write
update
.Va dot
to the address of the last line
examined or the last location modified, and set
.Va next
to the address of
the next location to be examined or changed.
Other commands do not change
.Va dot ,
and set
.Va next
to be the same as
.Va dot .
.Pp
The general command syntax is:
.Ar command Ns Op Li / Ns Ar modifier
.Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
.Pp
A blank line repeats the previous command from the address
.Va next
with
count 1 and no modifiers.
Specifying
.Ar addr
sets
.Va dot
to the address.
Omitting
.Ar addr
uses
.Va dot .
A missing
.Ar count
is taken
to be 1 for printing commands or infinity for stack traces.
A
.Ar count
of -1 is equivalent to a missing
.Ar count .
Options that are supplied but not supported by the given
.Ar command
are usually ignored.
.Pp
The
.Nm
debugger has a pager feature (like the
.Xr more 1
command)
for the output.
If an output line exceeds the number set in the
.Va lines
variable, it displays
.Dq Li --More--
and waits for a response.
The valid responses for it are:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -width ".Li SPC"
.It Li SPC
one more page
.It Li RET
one more line
.It Li q
abort the current command, and return to the command input mode
.El
.Pp
Finally,
.Nm
provides a small (currently 10 items) command history, and offers
simple
.Nm emacs Ns -style
command line editing capabilities.
In addition to
the
.Nm emacs
control keys, the usual
.Tn ANSI
arrow keys may be used to
browse through the history buffer, and move the cursor within the
current line.
.Sh COMMANDS
.Ss COMMON DEBUGGER COMMANDS
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It Ic help
Print a short summary of the available commands and command
abbreviations.

.Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
.Xc
Display the addressed locations according to the formats in the modifier.
Multiple modifier formats display multiple locations.
If no format is specified, the last format specified for this command
is used.
.Pp
The format characters are:
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
.It Cm b
look at by bytes (8 bits)
.It Cm h
look at by half words (16 bits)
.It Cm l
look at by long words (32 bits)
.It Cm g
look at by quad words (64 bits)
.It Cm a
print the location being displayed
.It Cm A
print the location with a line number if possible
.It Cm x
display in unsigned hex
.It Cm z
display in signed hex
.It Cm o
display in unsigned octal
.It Cm d
display in signed decimal
.It Cm u
display in unsigned decimal
.It Cm r
display in current radix, signed
.It Cm c
display low 8 bits as a character.
Non-printing characters are displayed as an octal escape code (e.g.,
.Ql \e000 ) .
.It Cm s
display the null-terminated string at the location.
Non-printing characters are displayed as octal escapes.
.It Cm m
display in unsigned hex with character dump at the end of each line.
The location is also displayed in hex at the beginning of each line.
.It Cm i
display as a disassembled instruction
.It Cm I
display as an disassembled instruction with possible alternate formats depending on the
machine.
On i386, this selects the alternate format for the instruction decoding
(16 bits in a 32-bit code segment and vice versa).
.It Cm S
display a symbol name for the pointer stored at the address
.El
.Pp
.It Ic xf
Examine forward:
execute an
.Ic examine
command with the last specified parameters to it
except that the next address displayed by it is used as the start address.
.Pp
.It Ic xb
Examine backward:
execute an
.Ic examine
command with the last specified parameters to it
except that the last start address subtracted by the size displayed by it
is used as the start address.
.Pp
.It Ic print Ns Op Li / Ns Cm acdoruxz
.It Ic p Ns Op Li / Ns Cm acdoruxz
Print
.Ar addr Ns s
according to the modifier character (as described above for
.Cm examine ) .
Valid formats are:
.Cm a , x , z , o , d , u , r ,
and
.Cm c .
If no modifier is specified, the last one specified to it is used.
The argument
.Ar addr
can be a string, in which case it is printed as it is.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
print/x "eax = " $eax "\enecx = " $ecx "\en"
.Ed
.Pp
will print like:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
eax = xxxxxx
ecx = yyyyyy
.Ed
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ic write Ns Op Li / Ns Cm bhl
.Ar addr expr1 Op Ar expr2 ...
.Xc
.It Xo
.Ic w Ns Op Li / Ns Cm bhl
.Ar addr expr1 Op Ar expr2 ...
.Xc
Write the expressions specified after
.Ar addr
on the command line at succeeding locations starting with
.Ar addr .
The write unit size can be specified in the modifier with a letter
.Cm b
(byte),
.Cm h
(half word) or
.Cm l
(long word) respectively.
If omitted,
long word is assumed.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
since there is no delimiter between expressions, strange
things may happen.
It is best to enclose each expression in parentheses.
.Pp
.It Ic set Li $ Ns Ar variable Oo Li = Oc Ar expr
Set the named variable or register with the value of
.Ar expr .
Valid variable names are described below.
.Pp
.It Ic break Ns Oo Li / Ns Cm u Oc Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
.It Ic b     Ns Oo Li / Ns Cm u Oc Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
Set a break point at
.Ar addr .
If
.Ar count
is supplied, the
.Ic continue
command will not stop at this break point on the first
.Ar count
\- 1 times that it is hit.
If the break point is set, a break point number is
printed with
.Ql # .
This number can be used in deleting the break point
or adding conditions to it.
.Pp
If the
.Cm u
modifier is specified, this command sets a break point in user
address space.
Without the
.Cm u
option, the address is considered to be in the kernel
space, and a wrong space address is rejected with an error message.
This modifier can be used only if it is supported by machine dependent
routines.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
If a user text is shadowed by a normal user space debugger,
user space break points may not work correctly.
Setting a break
point at the low-level code paths may also cause strange behavior.
.Pp
.It Ic delete Op Ar addr
.It Ic d      Op Ar addr
.It Ic delete Li # Ns Ar number
.It Ic d      Li # Ns Ar number
Delete the specified break point.
The break point can be specified by a
break point number with
.Ql # ,
or by using the same
.Ar addr
specified in the original
.Ic break
command, or by omitting
.Ar addr
to get the default address of
.Va dot .
.Pp
.It Ic halt
Halt the system.
.Pp
.It Ic watch Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar size
Set a watchpoint for a region.
Execution stops when an attempt to modify the region occurs.
The
.Ar size
argument defaults to 4.
If you specify a wrong space address, the request is rejected
with an error message.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
Attempts to watch wired kernel memory
may cause unrecoverable error in some systems such as i386.
Watchpoints on user addresses work best.
.Pp
.It Ic hwatch Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar size
Set a hardware watchpoint for a region if supported by the
architecture.
Execution stops when an attempt to modify the region occurs.
The
.Ar size
argument defaults to 4.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
The hardware debug facilities do not have a concept of separate
address spaces like the watch command does.
Use
.Ic hwatch
for setting watchpoints on kernel address locations only, and avoid
its use on user mode address spaces.
.Pp
.It Ic dhwatch Oo Ar addr Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar size
Delete specified hardware watchpoint.
.Pp
.It Ic kill Ar sig pid
Send signal
.Ar sig
to process
.Ar pid .
The signal is acted on upon returning from the debugger.
This command can be used to kill a process causing resource contention
in the case of a hung system.
See
.Xr signal 3
for a list of signals.
Note that the arguments are reversed relative to
.Xr kill 2 .
.Pp
.It Ic step Ns Oo Li / Ns Cm p Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
.It Ic s    Ns Oo Li / Ns Cm p Oc Ns Op , Ns Ar count
Single step
.Ar count
times.
If the
.Cm p
modifier is specified, print each instruction at each step.
Otherwise, only print the last instruction.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
depending on machine type, it may not be possible to
single-step through some low-level code paths or user space code.
On machines with software-emulated single-stepping (e.g., pmax),
stepping through code executed by interrupt handlers will probably
do the wrong thing.
.Pp
.It Ic continue Ns Op Li / Ns Cm c
.It Ic c Ns Op Li / Ns Cm c
Continue execution until a breakpoint or watchpoint.
If the
.Cm c
modifier is specified, count instructions while executing.
Some machines (e.g., pmax) also count loads and stores.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
when counting, the debugger is really silently single-stepping.
This means that single-stepping on low-level code may cause strange
behavior.
.Pp
.It Ic until Ns Op Li / Ns Cm p
Stop at the next call or return instruction.
If the
.Cm p
modifier is specified, print the call nesting depth and the
cumulative instruction count at each call or return.
Otherwise,
only print when the matching return is hit.
.Pp
.It Ic next Ns Op Li / Ns Cm p
.It Ic match Ns Op Li / Ns Cm p
Stop at the matching return instruction.
If the
.Cm p
modifier is specified, print the call nesting depth and the
cumulative instruction count at each call or return.
Otherwise, only print when the matching return is hit.

.Xc
.It Xo
.Ic bt Ns Op Li / Ns Cm u

.Xc
Stack trace.
The
.Cm u
option traces user space; if omitted,
.Ic trace
only traces
kernel space.
The optional argument
.Ar count
is the number of frames to be traced.
If
.Ar count
is omitted, all frames are printed.
.Pp
.Sy Warning :
User space stack trace is valid
only if the machine dependent code supports it.
.Pp
.It Xo
.Ic search Ns Op Li / Ns Cm bhl
.Ar addr
.Ar value
.Op Ar mask Ns
.Op , Ns Ar count
.Xc
Search memory for
.Ar value .
The optional
.Ar count
argument limits the search.
.\"
.Pp
.It Ic reboot Op Ar seconds
.It Ic reset Op Ar seconds
Hard reset the system.
If the optional argument
.Ar seconds
is given, the debugger will wait for this long, at most a week,
before rebooting.
.Pp
.It Ic thread Ar addr | tid
Switch the debugger to the thread with ID
.Ar tid ,
if the argument is a decimal number, or address
.Ar addr ,
otherwise.

.Ss OFFLINE DEBUGGING COMMANDS
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It Ic gdb
Switches to remote GDB mode.
In remote GDB mode, another machine is required that runs
.Xr gdb 1
using the remote debug feature, with a connection to the serial
console port on the target machine.
.Pp
.It Ic netdump Fl s Ar server Oo Fl g Ar gateway Fl c Ar client Fl i Ar iface Oc
Configure
.Xr netdump 4
with the provided parameters, and immediately perform a netdump.
.Pp
There are some known limitations.
Principally,
.Xr netdump 4
only supports IPv4 at this time.
The address arguments to the
.Ic netdump
command must be dotted decimal IPv4 addresses.
(Hostnames are not supported.)
At present, the command only works if the machine is in a panic state.
Finally, the
.Nm
.Ic netdump
command does not provide any way to configure compression or encryption.
.Pp
.It Ic netgdb Fl s Ar server Oo Fl g Ar gateway Fl c Ar client Fl i Ar iface Oc
Initiate a
.Xr netgdb 4
session with the provided parameters.
.Pp
.Ic netgdb
has identical limitations to
.Ic netdump .
.Pp
.It Ic capture on
.It Ic capture off
.It Ic capture reset
.It Ic capture status
.Nm
supports a basic output capture facility, which can be used to retrieve the
results of debugging commands from userspace using
.Xr sysctl 3 .
.Ic capture on
enables output capture;
.Ic capture off
disables capture.
.Ic capture reset
will clear the capture buffer and disable capture.
.Ic capture status
will report current buffer use, buffer size, and disposition of output
capture.
.Pp
Userspace processes may inspect and manage
.Nm
capture state using
.Xr sysctl 8 :
.Pp
.Va debug.ddb.capture.bufsize
may be used to query or set the current capture buffer size.
.Pp
.Va debug.ddb.capture.maxbufsize
may be used to query the compile-time limit on the capture buffer size.
.Pp
.Va debug.ddb.capture.bytes
may be used to query the number of bytes of output currently in the capture
buffer.
.Pp
.Va debug.ddb.capture.data
returns the contents of the buffer as a string to an appropriately privileged
process.
.Pp
This facility is particularly useful in concert with the scripting and
.Xr textdump 4
facilities, allowing scripted debugging output to be captured and
committed to disk as part of a textdump for later analysis.
The contents of the capture buffer may also be inspected in a kernel core dump
using
.Xr kgdb 1 .
.Pp
.It Ic run
.It Ic script
.It Ic scripts
.It Ic unscript
Run, define, list, and delete scripts.
See the
.Sx SCRIPTING
section for more information on the scripting facility.
.Pp
.It Ic textdump dump
.It Ic textdump set
.It Ic textdump status
.It Ic textdump unset
Use the
.Ic textdump dump
command to immediately perform a textdump.
More information may be found in
.Xr textdump 4 .
The
.Ic textdump set
command may be used to force the next kernel core dump to be a textdump
rather than a traditional memory dump or minidump.
.Ic textdump status
reports whether a textdump has been scheduled.
.Ic textdump unset
cancels a request to perform a textdump as the next kernel core dump.
.El
.Sh VARIABLES
The debugger accesses registers and variables as
.Li $ Ns Ar name .
Register names are as in the
.Dq Ic show Cm registers
command.
Some variables are suffixed with numbers, and may have some modifier
following a colon immediately after the variable name.
For example, register variables can have a
.Cm u
modifier to indicate user register (e.g.,
.Dq Li $eax:u ) .
.Pp
Built-in variables currently supported are:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width ".Va tabstops" -compact
.It Va radix
Input and output radix.
.It Va maxoff
Addresses are printed as
.Dq Ar symbol Ns Li + Ns Ar offset
unless
.Ar offset
is greater than
.Va maxoff .
.It Va maxwidth
The width of the displayed line.
.It Va lines
The number of lines.
It is used by the built-in pager.
Setting it to 0 disables paging.
.It Va tabstops
Tab stop width.
.It Va work Ns Ar xx
Work variable;
.Ar xx
can take values from 0 to 31.
.El
.Sh EXPRESSIONS
Most expression operators in C are supported except
.Ql ~ ,
.Ql ^ ,
and unary
.Ql & .
Special rules in
.Nm
are:
.Bl -tag -width ".No Identifiers"
.It Identifiers
The name of a symbol is translated to the value of the symbol, which
is the address of the corresponding object.
.Ql \&.
and
.Ql \&:
can be used in the identifier.
If supported by an object format dependent routine,
.Sm off
.Oo Ar filename : Oc Ar func : lineno ,
.Sm on
.Oo Ar filename : Oc Ns Ar variable ,
and
.Oo Ar filename : Oc Ns Ar lineno
can be accepted as a symbol.
.It Numbers
Radix is determined by the first two letters:
.Ql 0x :
hex,
.Ql 0o :
octal,
.Ql 0t :
decimal; otherwise, follow current radix.
.It Li \&.
.Va dot
.It Li +
.Va next
.It Li ..
address of the start of the last line examined.
Unlike
.Va dot
or
.Va next ,
this is only changed by
.Ic examine
or
.Ic write
command.
.It Li '
last address explicitly specified.
.It Li $ Ns Ar variable
Translated to the value of the specified variable.
It may be followed by a
.Ql \&:
and modifiers as described above.
.It Ar a Ns Li # Ns Ar b
A binary operator which rounds up the left hand side to the next
multiple of right hand side.
.It Li * Ns Ar expr
Indirection.
It may be followed by a
.Ql \&:
and modifiers as described above.
.El
.Sh SCRIPTING
.Nm
supports a basic scripting facility to allow automating tasks or responses to
specific events.
Each script consists of a list of DDB commands to be executed sequentially,
and is assigned a unique name.
Certain script names have special meaning, and will be automatically run on
various
.Nm
events if scripts by those names have been defined.
.Pp
The
.Ic script
command may be used to define a script by name.
Scripts consist of a series of
.Nm
commands separated with the
.Ql \&;
character.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
script kdb.enter.panic=bt; show pcpu
script lockinfo=show alllocks; show lockedvnods
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Ic scripts
command lists currently defined scripts.
.Pp
The
.Ic run
command execute a script by name.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
run lockinfo
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Ic unscript
command may be used to delete a script by name.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
unscript kdb.enter.panic
.Ed
.Pp
These functions may also be performed from userspace using the
.Xr ddb 8
command.
.Pp
Certain scripts are run automatically, if defined, for specific
.Nm
events.
The follow scripts are run when various events occur:
.Bl -tag -width kdb.enter.powerfail
.It Va kdb.enter.acpi
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of an
.Xr acpi 4
event.
.It Va kdb.enter.bootflags
The kernel debugger was entered at boot as a result of the debugger boot
flag being set.
.It Va kdb.enter.break
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a serial or console break.
.It Va kdb.enter.cam
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a
.Xr CAM 4
event.
.It Va kdb.enter.mac
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of an assertion failure in the
.Xr mac_test 4
module of the
TrustedBSD MAC Framework.
.It Va kdb.enter.ndis
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of an
.Xr ndis 4
breakpoint event.
.It Va kdb.enter.netgraph
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a
.Xr netgraph 4
event.
.It Va kdb.enter.panic
.Xr panic 9
was called.
.It Va kdb.enter.powerpc
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of an unimplemented interrupt
type on the powerpc platform.
.It Va kdb.enter.sysctl
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of the
.Va debug.kdb.enter
sysctl being set.
.It Va kdb.enter.unionfs
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of an assertion failure in the
union file system.
.It Va kdb.enter.unknown
The kernel debugger was entered, but no reason has been set.
.It Va kdb.enter.vfslock
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a VFS lock violation.
.It Va kdb.enter.watchdog
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a watchdog firing.
.It Va kdb.enter.witness
The kernel debugger was entered as a result of a
.Xr witness 4
violation.
.El
.Pp
In the event that none of these scripts is found,
.Nm
will attempt to execute a default script:
.Bl -tag -width kdb.enter.powerfail
.It Va kdb.enter.default
The kernel debugger was entered, but a script exactly matching the reason for
entering was not defined.
This can be used as a catch-all to handle cases not specifically of interest;
for example,
.Va kdb.enter.witness
might be defined to have special handling, and
.Va kdb.enter.default
might be defined to simply panic and reboot.
.El
.Sh HINTS
On machines with an ISA expansion bus, a simple NMI generation card can be
constructed by connecting a push button between the A01 and B01 (CHCHK# and
GND) card fingers.
Momentarily shorting these two fingers together may cause the bridge chipset to
generate an NMI, which causes the kernel to pass control to
.Nm .
Some bridge chipsets do not generate a NMI on CHCHK#, so your mileage may vary.
The NMI allows one to break into the debugger on a wedged machine to
diagnose problems.
Other bus' bridge chipsets may be able to generate NMI using bus specific
methods.
There are many PCI and PCIe add-in cards which can generate NMI for
debugging.
Modern server systems typically use IPMI to generate signals to enter the
debugger.
The
.Va devel/ipmitool
port can be used to send the
.Cd chassis power diag
command which delivers an NMI to the processor.
Embedded systems often use JTAG for debugging, but rarely use it in
combination with
.Nm .
.Pp
For serial consoles, you can enter the debugger by sending a BREAK
condition on the serial line if
.Cd options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
is specified in the kernel.
Most terminal emulation programs can send a break sequence with a
special key sequence or via a menu item.
However, in some setups, sending the break can be difficult to arrange
or happens spuriously, so if the kernel contains
.Cd options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
then the sequence of CR TILDE CTRL-B enters the debugger;
CR TILDE CTRL-P causes a panic instead of entering the
debugger; and
CR TILDE CTRL-R causes an immediate reboot.
In all the above sequences, CR is a Carriage Return and is usually
sent by hitting the Enter or Return key.
TILDE is the ASCII tilde character (~).
CTRL-x is Control x created by hitting the control key and then x
and then releasing both.
.Pp
The break to enter the debugger behavior may be enabled at run-time
by setting the
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va debug.kdb.break_to_debugger
to 1.
The alternate sequence to enter the debugger behavior may be enabled
at run-time by setting the
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger
to 1.
The debugger may be entered by setting the
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va debug.kdb.enter
to 1.
