Re: [Crash-utility] Broken backtrace with nested NMIs
2014-04-29 19:27 GMT+08:00 Petr Tesarik <ptesarik(a)suse.cz>:
It will show an incorrect register dump, but the backtrace continues.
For example:
Hi Petr,
The back trace looks good.
How did you know the register dump is incorrect?
At least the value of RSP saved in NMI stack seemed to be good,
RSP: ffff880232b2ff18
Recently, I'm working on a core file analysis, and found crash tool
couldn't give the correct NMI back trace.
But I can find right stack trace by using IST pointer.
I'm wondering whether your patch could work for my cases.
May I can try your fix after it is ready.

If there is a nested NMI, reading the code suggests crash may loop again
to the NMI stack, but I don't have a sample dump file ATM.
