Extend adeb to connect to a target through ssh about adeb HOT 3 CLOSED

OK I can see that you use BCC_KERNEL_SOURCE to avoid creating /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build. Nice

from adeb.

Yes, you are welcomed to send patches for building BCC within the image. That would be quite useful. Thanks. About compiling on the target, that is needed if the target is of a different architecture than the host.

Also about kernel headers, moving forward I want to get this working so we can just use kernel headers from the kernel itself which will eliminate the extra step we do (for BCC_KERNEL_SOURCE)

If you want, I can CC you on those kernel patches as well (just let me know your email address) and your review/contributions there are also welcomed.

Oh yes. But there's a nice trick that I accidentally discovered. When you chroot to a debian image that was created for a different arch it'll recognize that and assume the right arch, ie: arm64 and you won't appear to be cross compiling anymore.

Also I was caught more than once when cross compiling a binary and trying to execute it on x86 expecting a wrong arch error but instead it magically ran; only to discover thatt the system is smart to know it's for a different arch and transparently uses qemu-$(arch). Neat!

Will send a PR for that soon.

Yes please. I can probably give you my tested-by. [email protected]
