saute procfs lyonnais
procfs supports two levels of directory. the filesystem root
directory contains a representation of the system process table.
this consists of an entry for each active and zombie process, and
an additional entry "curproc" which always represents the process
making the lookup request.
each of the sub-directories contains several files. these files
are used to control and interrogate processes. the files implemented
are:
file - xxx. the exec'ed file.
status - r/o. returns process status.
ctl - w/o. sends a control message to the process.
for example:
echo hup > /proc/curproc/note
will send a SIGHUP to the shell.
whereas
echo attach > /proc/1293/ctl
would set up process 1293 for debugging.
see below for more details.
mem - r/w. virtual memory image of the process.
parts of the address space are readable
only if they exist in the target process.
a more reasonable alternative might be
to return zero pages instead of an error.
comments?
note - w/o. writing a string here sends the
equivalent note to the process.
[ not implemented. ]
notepg - w/o. the same as note, but sends to all
members of the process group.
[ not implemented. ]
regs - r/w. process register set. this can be read
or written any time even if the process
is not stopped. since the bsd kernel
is single-processor, this implementation
will get the "right" register values.
a multi-proc kernel would need to do some
synchronisation.
this then looks like:
% ls -li /proc

the basic sequence of commands written to "ctl" would be
attach - this stops the target process and
arranges for the sending process
to become the debug control process
wait - wait for the target process to come to
a steady state ready for debugging.
step - single step, with no signal delivery.
run - continue running, with no signal delivery,
until next trap or breakpoint.
<signame> - deliver signal <signame> and continue running.
detach - continue execution of the target process
and remove it from control by the debug process
in a normal debugging environment, where the target is fork/exec'd by
the debugger, the debugger should fork and the child should stop itself
(with a self-inflicted SIGSTOP). the parent should do a "wait" then an
"attach". as before, the child will hit a breakpoint on the first
instruction in any newly exec'd image.
