Intel SGX Debug (sgx-gdb) in Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

[Khandaker__Mustakimu]

Hi

I have successfully built and enabled Intel SGX in my Ubuntu 18.4.2 LTS machine. Kernel version 4.15.0-46-generic. Everything works perfectly except the sgx-gdb which sgx enclave debugger. I have the sgx-sdk in my build and while I am using it with a breakpoint in the enclave, it is not caught. Rather it shows the following messages:

Function "notify_gdb_to_update" not defined.
Function "sgx_debug_load_state_add_element" not defined.
Function "sgx_debug_unload_state_remove_element" not defined.

Hi,

Did you try the deb_sgx_enclave_common_dev_pkg for SGX PSW installation? I encountered the same problem while using psw_install_pkg.

When sgx_dbg works, you won't see the "not define" warning

Hello,

I seem to have a related problem under Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I use the SDK in version 2.5. I installed libsgx-enclave-common_2.5.101.50123-bionic1_amd64.deb, libsgx-enclave-common-dbgsym_2.5.101.50123-bionic1_amd64.ddeb  and libsgx-enclave-common-dev_2.5.101.50123-bionic1_amd64.deb     

In the following, you see the output that I get when I want to debug an unchanged version of the SampleEnclave. I can successfully build and run it. I'm also sure that I build it in debug mode.

I also tried it in eclipse by setting the sgx-gdb debugger in den Debugger tab. It simply jumps over the breakpoint inside of he enclave without any message.
