[Crash-utility] [PATCH] crash extension: trace

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).
