I find this new one confusing, not to mention unlike any of the other architectures in that the "frame level" #X address value is not contiguous with the stack addresses that get filled in by -f. Taking your picture into account: stack grows to lower addresses. /|\ | | | new sp +------+ <--- |dyn | | | vars | | new fp +- - - + | |old fp| | a function's stack frame |old lr| | |static| | | vars| | old sp +------+ <--- |dyn | | vars | old fp +------+ | | Your first patch seemed natural to me because for any "#X" line containing a function name, that function's dynamic variables, the "old fp/old lr" pair, and the function's static variables were dumped below it (i.e., at higher stack addresses). > To be consistent with the out format of x86, the output should be > <function's stack dump> > #XX ['fp'] 'function' at 'pc' > > Unfortunately, this requires that arm64_back_trace_cmd() and other functions should be overhauled. > Please take a look at my next patch though it is uncompleted and still has room for improvement. I don't know what you mean by "consistent with the out format of x86"? With x86_64, each #<level> line is simply the stack address where the function pushed its return address as a result of its making a "callq" to the next function. Any local variables of the calling function would be at the next higher stack addresses:

... #X [stack address] function2 at 'return address' <function2's local variables> #Y [stack address] function1 at 'return address' <functions1's local variables> ... So for digging out local stack variables associated with a function, it's a simple matter of looking "below" it in the "bt -f" output.
