SLEEPING_THREAD_TO_G(9) KGDB Internals SLEEPING_THREAD_TO_G(9)NAMEsleeping_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.
