Subject: How to find out which part of code is changing a particular data structure.
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 00:46:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70853dc9fbf84454b3db81630a6ce99e@BLUPR05MB118.namprd05.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hi folks,
I have a memory location (One of the fields in a kernel data structure) and I want to track down the code that changes the value of that particular location. Some thing like a "watchpoint".
And this is early while I am still booting up. Can some one tell me if it is possible to do so?
Thanks,
Rajat
