[llvmlinux] "make test" for x86_64 target just hung there, why?

[Jan-Simon Moeller]

Yes, its easier to look at -d in_asm.

For that reason (and to not forget the commands ;) ) I added to 
targets/x86_64 the make goal

"make test-qemu-debug" ... Then take a look at a2l.log .


It will generate a few files:
- qemulog.log  is the full dose of -din_asm,op,int,exec,cpu,cpu_reset,
- debugaddr.log  has just the mem addr grep'ed out
- addresses.log is the last 2000 of these w/o the rest of the line
- a2l.log  is the output of address2line for each of the lines in 
addresses.log 


In theory it should point to the last functions executed and print out 
the function name/line right in the llvmlinux kernel.


Still some grep'ing remains in case there're a lot of prints (e.g. 
stacktrace). 

Possibly limit the amount of data (just limit to -din_asm) in the 
makefile.

Just compiling now ... 

Best,
Jan-Simon
