If you've got a symbol some reasonable distance before EIP, you could decode from there. I wrote a little code that does that (using kallsyms) very crudely in the stack trace in order to give the reader a hint about stack frames. Go to the prior symbol, which is usually an entry point, and find the %esp arithmetic. Works pretty well for figuring out the real call chain. -- /Jonathan Lundell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
