I saw two problems when doing backtraces: The compiler was putting a "fast return" at the top of some functions, before it set up the frame. The backtrace code would stop when it saw a jump instruction, so it would never get to the stack frame setup and would thus misinterpret it. To fix this, don't look for jump instructions until the frame setup has been seen. The assembly code here is: ffffffff80b885a0 <serial8250_handle_irq>: ffffffff80b885a0: c8a00003 bbit0 a1,0x0,ffffffff80b885b0 <serial8250_handle_irq+0x10> ffffffff80b885a4: 0000102d move v0,zero ffffffff80b885a8: 03e00008 jr ra ffffffff80b885ac: 00000000 nop ffffffff80b885b0: 67bdffd0 daddiu sp,sp,-48 ffffffff80b885b4: ffb00008 sd s0,8(sp) The second problem was the compiler was putting the last instruction of the frame save in the delay slot of the jump instruction. If it saved the RA in there, the backtrace could would miss it and misinterpret the frame. To fix this, make sure to process the instruction after the first jump seen. The assembly code for this is: ffffffff80806fd0 <plat_irq_dispatch>: ffffffff80806fd0: 67bdffd0 daddiu sp,sp,-48 ffffffff80806fd4: ffb30020 sd s3,32(sp) ffffffff80806fd8: 24130018 li s3,24 ffffffff80806fdc: ffb20018 sd s2,24(sp) ffffffff80806fe0: 3c12811c lui s2,0x811c ffffffff80806fe4: ffb10010 sd s1,16(sp) ffffffff80806fe8: 3c11811c lui s1,0x811c ffffffff80806fec: ffb00008 sd s0,8(sp) ffffffff80806ff0: 3c10811c lui s0,0x811c ffffffff80806ff4: 08201c03 j ffffffff8080700c <plat_irq_dispa tch+0x3c> ffffffff80806ff8: ffbf0028 sd ra,40(sp) Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/16992/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
