Hi Dave

The following patch is a consolidated cleanup and minor fixes attempt.
Specifically it does the following:

1. Saves register values(rip, rsp, rbp) got from the exception frame.
   These are used to unwind the process stack. Added a 'bptr' field
   in the bt_info structure to save the rbp value from the eframe.
2. Added checks for offset being zero while resolving the text address
   to a symbol name.
3. Added dwarf_print_stack_entry() as a parallel to x86_print_stack_entry().
   Could probably move the offset checking routine as a separate function.
   Would save us some lines of code. Pushed that for later.
4. Fixed 'levels' in the backtrace output.

Thanks
Rachita

Hi Rachita,

Great -- I'll tinker with this today and get out a new release ASAP.

One question re: this hanging thread:

Yes, we can(should) do that for all the active tasks.

Rachita


Correct me if I'm wrong here, but...

If, during machdep_init(POST_GBD), if we force-initialize
(hardwire when necessary) the relevant user_regs_struct items,
then we could change this line from:

    if (((NETDUMP_DUMPFILE() || KDUMP_DUMPFILE()) &&
          VALID_STRUCT(user_regs_struct) && (bt->task == tt->panic_task)) ||
          (KDUMP_DUMPFILE() && (kt->flags & DWARF_UNWIND) &&
          (bt->flags & BT_DUMPFILE_SEARCH))) {
to:

    if (((NETDUMP_DUMPFILE() || KDUMP_DUMPFILE()) &&
          VALID_STRUCT(user_regs_struct) && (bt->task == tt->panic_task)) ||
          (KDUMP_DUMPFILE() && (bt->flags & BT_DUMPFILE_SEARCH))) {

To be absolutely safe in a backwards-compatibility sense, perhaps
we should only do the hardwiring if it's a KDUMP_DUMPFILE().

Make sense?

Dave
