Wengang,
Thanks for your patch.
>From a UEK5 vmcore, I see that
What arch and kernel version do you use?
What is the last kernel version you didn't see this issue?
I need to identify the change in the kernel side that caused this issue.
crash> p &__start___trace_bprintk_fmt
$1 = (const char *(*)[]) 0xffffffffa163f1d0
crash> p &__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt
$2 = (const char *(*)[]) 0xffffffffa163f1f0
so (0xffffffffa163f1f0 - 0xffffffffa163f1d0)/8 = 4.
there are two zero addresses at index 2 and 3.
crash> rd __start___trace_bprintk_fmt 4
ffffffffa163f1d0: ffffffffa11ccdca ffffffffa11ccdca ................
ffffffffa163f1e0: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ................
current implementation will fail (no output for trace show command)
on seeing the zero addresses.
fix: ignore zero addresses in add_print_address.
tested to be good (compared the ftrace log from vmcore and that from live system).

Thanks.
