linux-toradex.git/arch/microblaze/include/asm/unwind.h, branch v3.2.20 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules microblaze: Add stack unwinder 2010-08-04T08:22:35+00:00 Steven J.

It is the intent of this patch to provide infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.

Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.

Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
  creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate
