Re: [Crash-utility] Retrieve pointer value for scripting
----- Original Message -----
Hello,
We wish to call 'crash' with a script file to automate some basic
command and output the result on a text file.
This works perfectly for basic commands such as bt, log, mod and so on,
especially when no input data is required.
We try now to dump the kernel stack through a 'rd <@> <size>'.
My problem is to "extract" this <@> and to "input" it in this
'rd' command.
You can dump the full kernel stack with "bt -r", although it does make
symbolic translations if possible. Perhaps that doesn't satisfy your
requirements?
For the moment, I'm able to get the task_struct * with following command :
ps | grep '>' | awk '{ print $5 };'
From that, the pointer of the thread_info would be available through
(task_struct *)->stack.
The "set" command, also available from "foreach", shows shows the
thread_info
pointer, although if you run it through a script you would have to strip the
brackets from the display.
But how to get all these together to finally ouptut a valid 'rd' command ?
Meaby another way to get this kernel stack dump would exist ?
Any help would be appreciate.
Regards,
Patrick Agrain
