x86: Swap save_stack_trace_regs parameters

2011-06-15T02:48:51Z

Swap the 1st and 2nd parameters of save_stack_trace_regs() as same as the parameters of save_stack_trace_tsk().

x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines

2010-11-18T13:37:34Z

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

stacktrace: add forward-declaration struct task_struct

2009-06-12T21:04:12Z

This is needed if the header is to be free-standing. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum

x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frame

2009-06-12T21:01:05Z

This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

tracing/stack-tracer: introduce CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT

2008-11-23T10:53:50Z

Impact: cleanup User stack tracing is just implemented for x86, but it is not x86 specific. Introduce a generic config flag, that is currently enabled only for x86. When other arches implement it, they will have to SELECT USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT. Signed-off-by: Török Edwin Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrl

2008-11-23T08:25:15Z

Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature Usage example: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'. To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing). Signed-off-by: Török Edwin Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
