Linux下的类似softice的调试工具

   1. Go to the subdirs loader and module, do a make all in each as user.
   2. Now copy ./module/pice.o to ./loader/ (not really necessary as you can also simply insmod it from the current dir, insmod pice.o)
   3. Go to ./loader
   4. su to root (after that you can type ./loader to see the loader options)
   5. Create a file pice.conf in /etc, containing the entries as described in CHANGES.txt
   6. ./loader -I which should install the debugger (and should also say so)
   7. IF IT DOESN?T INSTALL, there?s a couple of possible reasons (look into kernel message logs at /var/log/messages)
   8. System.map in / or /boot doesn?t correspond to install kernel. You will have to either find the correct System.map file or you will have to rebuild your kernel. Vmlinuz and System.map should be in same dir. Don?t forget to recompile pICE. Go to step 2.
   9. You forgot the pice.conf file.
  10. If it still doesn?t install, go to ./module with root and type insmod pice.o.
  11. Look into kernel messages to see the reason why installation failed. There should be a line "PrivateICE: ...something..." in the log.
  12. Once it is installed you can type CTRL-F to break into it. The key can be changed by going to patch.c and changing the variable ucBreakKey to the desired letter. Default is 'F' at the moment.
  13. !!! WARNING !!!: there cannot be any guarantee that it works. I?m quite glad I got so far and made it SMP aware. Source debugging might be broken at the moment as printk() hooking definitely is.
