Hello,

After getting on with kernel debugging as documented, i am little surprised by the amount of information provided by the kgmacros in the kernel debug kit.

showtask, does the job of showing basic task information, but how about dumping detailed task info ?.
( although, showtaskvm or showtaskvme and the rest should help, but i would like the data structure to be dumped...... )

After searching through Amit Singh's text, found that KDB has the necessary command to dump the data structures....

I tried adding few more fields (like p->stat) to the kgmacros, to see if they come into effect, but in vain.

We all know that BSD has a history of U* part of data structure that are swapped out during memory pressure. Is that the case here ?

I would appreciate if i can be provided help in dumping data structures for the information provided by the kgmacros.

Thanks,
Arvind
