2010-08-04microblaze: Add stack unwinderSteven J. Magnani
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 Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2009-12-14microblaze: Stack trace supportMichal Simek
This is working implemetation but the problem is that Microblaze misses frame pointer that's why is there big loop which trace and show all addresses which are in text. It shows addresses which are in registers, etc. This is problem and this is the reason why all Microblaze traces are wrong. There is an option to do hacks and trace the kernel code but this is too complicated. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>
