Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2025 17:11:35 +1200 From: Tao Liu <ltao(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: [Crash-utility] [PATCH v3 2/5] Call cmd_bt silently after "set pid" To: devel(a)lists.crash-utility.osci.io Cc: Alexey Makhalov <alexey.makhalov(a)broadcom.com&gt; Message-ID: <20250603051138.59896-3-ltao(a)redhat.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; x-default=true Cmd bt will list multi-stacks of one task. After we "set <pid>" switch context to one task, we first need a bt call to detect the multi-stacks, however we don't want any console output from it, so a nullfp is used for output receive. The silent bt call is only triggered once as part of task context switch by cmd set. A array of user_regs pointers is reserved for each supported arch. If one extra stack found, a user_regs structure will be allocated for storing regs value of the stack.
