Debugging a core dump using lldb

  • Thread-topic: Debugging a core dump using lldb

I am trying to debug a core dump using 10.9.5 kernel debug kit.

I am using below command to load my kext symbols:
target modules add /tmp/my.kext/Contents/MacOS/omfs --symfile /tmp/com.omneon.kext.myfs.sym
target module load --file /tmp/macosx/my.kext/Contents/MacOS/myfs __TEXT <address displayed in showallkexts>

Command works and even image list displays my module with appropriate symbol path.

"target dump symtab " displays all global variables correctly. But when I try to execute either "target variable foo" , it gives below error:
error: can't find global variable 'foo'

Symbols are generated using below command:
kextutil -n -arch x86_64 -s /tmp /tmp/myfs.kext -k /Volumes/KernelDebugKit/mach_kernel

Kext is built and signed from 10.6.8 machine, does that matter? Do I need to build a binary from 10.9 to debug it successfully?

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

Thanks,
Pratima
