1 Each strace port relies heavily on port-specific headers: 2 - errnoent.h - map error number to error name like strerror() 3 - ioctlent.h - map ioctl number to symbolic define 4 - signalent.h - map signal number to signal name like strsignal() 5 - syscallent.h - map syscall number to name and function signature 6 7 Since generating these headers from scratch (or even just updating them) can be 8 a big pain, there are a few scripts to help automate the process. Since each 9 port organizes their kernel sources differently, there may be a specific script 10 for your kernel. 11 12 We will use the Linux kernel (2.6.20+) as an example below (the Blackfin 13 architecture to be specific). Hopefully, it'll be obvious how to swap out a 14 different system or architecture as your circumstances apply. 15 16 ksrc=/usr/src/linux 17 asrc=$ksrc/arch/blackfin/include 18 19 To use the errnoent.sh script, give it all the headers that might contain 20 appropriate errno values. Excessive headers are not a problem. The resulting 21 output should be directly usable without modification. 22 sh ./errnoent.sh \ 23 $ksrc/include/linux/*errno*.h \ 24 $ksrc/include/asm-generic/*errno*.h \ 25 $asrc/asm/*errno*.h \ 26 > errnoent.h 27 28 To use the ioctls_gen.sh script, give it all the base include directories. The 29 script will crawl all the headers and try to discover appropriate ioctls. 30 Unlike the other scripts, this one creates files for further processing. This 31 is because ioctls tend to have a lot of define indirection, and the ioctlent0.h 32 header needs to be fully expanded into numeric form and sorted properly. So 33 first we process all of the ioctls with the ioctls_gen.sh into ioctls_inc.h and 34 ioctls_arch.h, and then we compile them into ioctlsort.c. The resulting 35 output, while directly usable, only contains definitions that match exactly the 36 current kernel version that the script ran against. That means older/newer 37 ioctl defines that might be present in the existing ioctlent0.h header will be 38 lost if things are copied directly. A little creative use of `diff` and manual 39 merging should be used to produce the final ioctlent0.h header. 40 sh ./maint/ioctls_gen.sh $ksrc/include $asrc 41 gcc -Wall -I. ioctlsort.c -o ioctlsort 42 ./ioctlsort > ioctlent0.h 43 44 To use the signalent.sh script, give it all the headers that might contain 45 appropriate signal values. Excessive headers are not a problem. The resulting 46 output should be directly usable without modification. 47 sh ./signalent.sh \ 48 $asrc/asm/signal.h \ 49 > signalent.h 50 51 To use the syscallent.sh script, give it the header with the list of your 52 system call numbers. The resulting output is useful as a template for creating 53 a proper header as it can really only detect the system call number and its 54 name. It has no way of knowing the number of arguments or strace flags for 55 decoding them (yet?). 56 sh ./syscallent.sh \ 57 $asrc/asm/unistd.h \ 58 > syscallent.h 59
