Mach has a built-in kernel debugger.
[Manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/gnumach-doc/Kernel-Debugger.html).
When you're [[running_a_system_in_QEMU|hurd/running/qemu]] you can directly
[use GDB on the running
kernel](http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC36).
Alternatively you can use an approach like this one: add the following code
snippet to `device/ds_routines.c`'s `ds_device_open` function, right at the top
of the function, and modify the code as needed.
void D (char *s)
{
switch (s[0] - '0')
{
case 0:
printf ("Hello from %s!\n", __FUNCTION__);
break;
case 1:
printf ("%s: Invoking task_collect_scan.\n", __FUNCTION__);
extern void task_collect_scan (void);
task_collect_scan ();
break;
default:
printf ("No idea what you want me to do.\n");
break;
}
}
if (name && name[0] == 'D')
D (name + 1);
Then boot your system and do something like this:
# devprobe D0
Hello from D!
# devprobe D1
D: Invoking task_collect_scan.
# devprobe D2
No idea what you want me to do.
This is especially useful if you need to manually trigger some stuff inside the
running kernel, as with the *D1* example.
