1. 开启虚拟机，虚拟机运行到 kgdb: Waiting for connection from remote gdb
2. 在Host机上运行： socat tcp-listen:8888 /tmp/vbox2, 其中/tmp/vbox2为管道文件,它是目标机串口的重定向目的文件，socat将这个管道文件又重定向到tcp socket的8888端口。
3. 开启一个新的虚拟终端，cd path/to/kernel/source/tree, 然后执行gdb ./vmlinux

set remote baud rate to 115200c/s
set remote target to local tcp socket

(gdb) c
Continuing.
目标机会一直启动，直到提示输入用户名密码。
4. 进入目标机，输入用户名密码(推荐使用字符界面下的root用户)，输入g命令，目标机被断下，控制移交到Host机中的gdb中。(目标机root的用户目录中的.bashrc中添加一行alias g='echo g>/proc/sysrq-trigger')
5. 在Host机中的gdb中
(gdb) set-mod-break
set breakpoint in system module init function
Breakpoint 1 at 0xc014bac5: file kernel/module.c, line 2288.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
6. 在目标机中
insmod klogger2.ko
目标机再次断下，控制权移交Host机中的gdb
7. 在Host机中的gdb中

你可以调试自己些的LKM模块了
附gdb的初始化配置文件~/.gdbinit

后记：gdb的调试脚本真难写，简单的字符串变量连接和等价判断都显得十分困难，不知道是我水平太差还是gdb的脚本功能太弱，总之比起Windbg来说，内核调试困难程度上了个等级
