Producing assembler of inode.c gives this (snipped): __iget: pushl %ebx movl 8(%esp),%ebx movl 28(%ebx),%eax testl %eax,%eax je .L3337 #APP incl 28(%ebx) #NO_APP jmp .L3336 .p2align 4,,7 .L3337: #APP incl 28(%ebx) #NO_APP testb $15,284(%ebx) jne .L3340 leal 8(%ebx),%edx movl 4(%edx),%ecx movl 8(%ebx),%eax movl %ecx,4(%eax) movl %eax,(%ecx) <===== >>EIP; c0151239 <__iget+29/4c> movl inode_in_use,%eax movl %edx,4(%eax) movl %eax,8(%ebx) movl $inode_in_use,4(%edx) movl %edx,inode_in_use .L3340: Which quiet nicely matches the ksymoops output. My books tell me the inode.s file _should_ give me line numbers in inode.c so I can then locate area of code - but I can't see how to match the produced assembler to the C source. Hope this helps someone - and if you know who to get assembler code to match C code via line numbers, I would like to know please.
