Dear all: If i remember correctly, when kernel panic there is a function I can use to dump all the names of backtrace functions. I have searched arch/mips/traps.c, but I only can see the dump functions of cpu registers, If my assumption is true, would anyone tell me what the name is or what Doc I can looking for? appreciate your help, miloody _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

In x86, it's dump_stack(). The definition can be read here online: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.36/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c#L198 -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Hi, I was able to check it in 2.6.36 version of kernel, and it is defined in traps.c. http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.36/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L205 dump_stack() calls show_backtrace function which had been show_trace in the earlier kernel versions. I compared between 2.6.14 and the latest version, and here are the differences: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.14/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L110 function: show_trace while (!kstack_end(stack)) { addr = *stack++; if (__kernel_text_address(addr)) { printk(" [<%0*lx>] ", field, addr); print_symbol("%s\n", addr); } } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the latest kernel, show_backtrace function is used, which does the same thing, but through different functions http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.36/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L126 function: show_backtrace printk("Call Trace:\n"); do { print_ip_sym(pc); pc = unwind_stack(task, &sp, pc, &ra); } while (pc); Regards, Sowmya =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.

hi all: thanks for your kind help, that is what I want. previously, I only see the address instead of function name, but after I select CONFIG_KALLSYMS as Y, I can see the function names also. BTW, what is the mechanism that kernel take to find out the function name?

hi: from log such as: <80128580>] do_softirq+0x48/0x68 i know 0x48 is the offset of do_softirq, but how can I locate precise what the offset 0x48 of do_softirq is? "objdump -s"?

Enabling the config option, it allows to build the symbol table for kernel. It uses /proc/kallsyms.
