I am debugging my kernel module during system boot. In order to load symbols for my kernel module I tried to get the section name and address in GDB when my module was loaded. I set breakpoint at do_init_module. But when I dump the module_sect_attr I got the following. (gdb) p mod $31 = (struct module *) 0xffffffffa01ad100 (gdb) p mod->sect_attrs $32 = (struct module_sect_attrs *) 0xffff8801305b2000 (gdb) p (struct module_sect_attrs *)mod->sect_attrs $33 = (struct module_sect_attrs *) 0xffff8801305b2000 (gdb) p *(struct module_sect_attrs *)mod->sect_attrs $34 = {grp = {name = 0xffffffff8186ff16 "sections", is_visible = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, attrs = 0xffff8801305b2580, bin_attrs = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>}, nsections = 19, attrs = 0xffff8801305b2028} (gdb) p (*(struct module_sect_attr *)0xffff8801305b2028) $40 = {mattr = {attr = {name = 0xffff88003490d080 ".note.gnu.build-id", mode = 292}, show = 0xffffffff810e8a70 <module_sect_show>, store = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, setup = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, test = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, free = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>}, name = 0xffff88003490d080 ".note.gnu.build-id", address = 18446744072100687872} (gdb) p (*(struct module_sect_attr *)(0xffff8801305b2028+0x48)) $42 = {mattr = {attr = {name = 0xffff880034bd8a28 ".text", mode = 292}, show = 0xffffffff810e8a70 <module_sect_show>, store = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, setup = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, test = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>, free = 0x0 <irq_stack_union>}, name = 0xffff880034bd8a28 ".text", address = 18446744072100675584} At here why the section address is "18446744072100675584". Apparently this is not a valid address. How come this happens? And how I can get the correct section address so that I can load the symbol of my kernel module? Thanks. My test system is CentOS 7. The kernel version is 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64. Michael
