| |
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. A invalid entry could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. So all of the entries were marked invalid.
This patch fixes this by winding up the frame pointer to desired stack frame. End result looks like below.
