Load the kernel symbol table using gdb


arm-eabi-gdb out/target/product/msm8625/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/vmlinux

Open DEBUG_INFO and DEBUG_VM in the kernel's.config

Locating fault code


(gdb) l * qrd7627a_add_io_devices+0x100
0xc07cd05c is in qrd7627a_add_io_devices (/home/yejialong/GH700C/kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/msm8x25/goso-msm7627a-io.c:1851).
1846      } else if (machine_is_msm8625q_skud() || machine_is_msm8625q_evbd()) {
1847    #ifndef CONFIG_CALA02
1848          platform_device_register(&pmic_mpp_leds_pdev_skud);
1849    #endif
1850          /* enable the skud flash and torch by gpio leds driver */
1851          platform_device_register(&gpio_flash_skud);
1852      } else if (machine_is_msm8625q_skue()) {
1853           /* enable the skue flashlight by gpio leds driver */
1854          platform_device_register(&gpio_flash_skue);
1855      }

Here's how the mtk platform loads, but it's the same regardless of platform.

rockchip rk3399 Debug vmlinux


./prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-addr2line -f -e kernel/vmlinux

tombstone debugging for RK platform


./prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8/bin/arm-eabi-addr2line -e ./out/target/product/rk3399_mid/symbols/system/lib/libspeexresampler.so 0x00002d54
/proc/self/cwd/external/speex/libspeex/resample.c:376

arm-eabi-gdb use the command to find this thing first, then go to find vmlinux and I arm-ES35en-4.7 / this version can be used, this is I tried out.
