linux系统奔溃之vmcore:kdump的亲密战友crash

编程

crash 是目前广泛使用的 linux 内核崩溃转储文件的分析工具,掌握 crash 的使用技巧,对于分析定位内核崩溃的问题,有着非常重要的作用。本文首先介绍了 crash 的基本概念和安装方法,其次详细介绍了如何使用 crash 工具分析内核崩溃转储文件,包括各种常用调试命令的使用方法,最后以几个实际工作中遇到的真实案例向读者展示了 crash 的强大功能。在这篇文章中,既有详细的工具使用方法,又有丰富的实际案例分析,相信您读过以后定会受益匪浅。

什么是 crash

如前文所述,当 linux 系统内核发生崩溃的时候,可以通过 kdump 等方式收集内核崩溃之前的内存,生成一个转储文件 vmcore。内核开发者通过分析该 vmcore 文件就可以诊断出内核崩溃的原因,从而进行操作系统的代码改进。那么 crash 就是一个被广泛使用的内核崩溃转储文件分析工具,掌握 crash 的使用技巧,对于定位问题有着十分重要的作用。

使用 crash 的先决条件

由于 crash 用于调试内核崩溃的转储文件,因此使用 crash 需要依赖如下条件:

  1. kernel 映像文件 vmlinux 在编译的时候必须指定了 -g 参数,即带有调试信息。

  2. 需要有一个内存崩溃转储文件(例如 vmcore),或者可以通过 /dev/mem 或 /dev/crash 访问的实时系统内存。如果 crash 命令行没有指定转储文件,则 crash 默认使用实时系统内存,这时需要 root 权限。

  3. crash 支持的平台处理器包括:x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc64, arm, s390, s390x ( 也有部分 crash 版本支持 Alpha 和 32-bit PowerPC,但是对于这两种平台的支持不保证长期维护 )。

  4. crash 支持 2.2.5-15(含)以后的 Linux 内核版本。随着 Linux 内核的更新,crash 也在不断升级以适应新的内核。

crash 安装指南

要想使用 crash 调试内核转储文件,需要安装 crash 工具和内核调试信息包。不同的发行版安装包名称略有差异,这里仅列出 RHEL 和 SLES 发行版对应的安装包名称如下:

表 1. crash 工具和内核调试包

系统版本

crash 工具名称

内核调试信息包

RHEL6.2

crash

kernel-debuginfo-common
kernel-debuginfo

SLES11SP2

crash

kernel-default-debuginfo
kernel-ppc64-debuginfo

以 RHEL 为例,安装 crash 及内核调试信息包的步骤如下:

 rpm -ivh crash-5.1.8-1.el6.ppc64.rpm 

rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-common-ppc64-2.6.32-220.el6.ppc64.rpm

rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-220.el6.ppc64.rpm

启动 crash

启动参数说明

使用 crash 调试转储文件,需要在命令行输入两个参数:debug kernel 和 dump file,其中 dump file 是内核转储文件的名称,debug kernel 是由内核调试信息包安装的,不同的发行版名称略有不同,以 RHEL 和 SLES 为例:

 RHEL6.2:/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.ppc64/vmlinux 

SLES11SP2:/usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-3.0.13-0.27-ppc64.debug

使用 crash -h 或 man crash 可以查看 crash 支持的一系列选项,这里仅以常用的选项为例说明如下:

-h:打印帮助信息

-d:设置调试级别

-S:使用 /boot/System.map 作为默认的映射文件

-s:不显示版本、初始调试信息等,直接进入命令行

-i file:启动之后自动运行 file 中的命令,再接受用户输入

crash 报告分析

crash 命令启动后,会产生一个转储文件的分析报告摘要,如下图所示。

crash 内置命令简介

crash 命令行启动后,可以通过一些内置命令来打印系统崩溃前的信息。

bt - backtrace

bt 命令用于查看系统崩溃前的堆栈等信息,这是系统调试中非常常用和好用的一个命令。

这里采用笔者在实际测试工作中发现的 SLES 系统下的系统崩溃问题作为案例来进行讲解。该系统已经配置了 kdump 启用,因此在系统发生崩溃之后,在 /var/crash/ 当天日期 / 目录下面生成一个 vmcore 文件,下面我们来对这个文件进行分析。

Crash>

  1. 我们看到系统崩溃前的最后一个调用是“#4 [c0000000f8ce37c0] .get_vmalloc_info at c000000000255900”,现在用 dis 命令来看一下该地址的反汇编结果

清单 8. dis 命令

 crash> dis -l c000000000255900 

/usr/src/debug/kernel-ppc64-3.0.8/linux-3.0/fs/proc/mmu.c: 47

0xc000000000255900 <.get_vmalloc_info+112>: ld r10,8(r11)

  1. 从上面的反汇编结果中,我们看到问题出在 mmu.c 第 47 行代码,翻开 linux 源码的相应位置

清单 9. linux 源码

 21 void get_vmalloc_info(struct vmalloc_info *vmi) 

22 {

23 struct vm_struct *vma;

……

46 for (vma = vmlist; vma; vma = vma->next) {

47 unsigned long addr = (unsigned long) vma->addr

用 struct 命令查看数据结构

清单 10. struct 命令

crash> struct -o vm_struct 

struct vm_struct {

[0] struct vm_struct *next;

[8] void *addr;

[16] long unsigned int size;

[24] long unsigned int flags;

[32] struct page **pages;

[40] unsigned int nr_pages;

[48] phys_addr_t phys_addr;

[56] void *caller;

}

SIZE: 64

crash>

对照源码和反汇编代码,我们发现第 47 行的源码,实际对应的就是反汇编的代码

ld r10,8(r11) # 将寄存器 r11 的第 8 个 byte 后的内容,load 到寄存器 r10

  1. 那么 r11 中应该是 vm_struct 结构,我们再用 struct 来看看

清单 11. struct 命令

 crash> struct vm_struct 0000000100000000 

struct: invalid kernel virtual address: 0000000100000000

crash>

说明 r11 的内容已经被破坏,并不是指向一个 vm_struct 结构了。

经过上面的层层分析,我们推测问题的产生过程如下:mmu.c 第 46 行, vma = vma->next 取到了一个错误的地址,导致第 47 行 addr = (unsigned long) vma->addr 产生了内核错误。当然,更深层的原因,还需要对代码逻辑进行分析,找出导致这个现象的根源。

常见问题

本节列出了使用 crash 过程中可能会碰到的问题,并给出了相应的解决对策。

  1. 缺少调试信息包

crash: either install the appropriate kernel debuginfo package, or

遇到这种问题时,需要安装内核调试信息包,再重新运行 crash 命令。

  1. vmlinux 和 vmcore 版本不匹配

这种情况说明你所使用的 vmlinux 与产生 vmcore 的内核版本不一致,需要使用相同版本的内核来调试 vmcore 文件。

  1. core 文件不完整

清单 14. core 文件不完整

这个提示说明你使用的 vmcore 文件不完整。导致这个问题的原因可能有多种,硬盘空间不足,网络 dump 时网络中断等等。对于这种情况,我们需要重新 dump 一个完整的 vmcore 进行分析调试。

小结

对于内核开发人员,crash 已经成了必不可少的一个工具。内核固然高深,但是通过 kdump 和 crash 这对战友的亲密配合,很多问题都会迎刃而解。本文仅为您介绍了 crash 的基本知识,更多的技巧还需要读者在实践中不断探索和总结。
