Re: [Crash-utility] arm64: Support overflow stack panic

Hi Kazu Thanks for your time to review the patches and all the detailed comments, the 3rd patch attached with all the refinement.

By the way, do I need to squash all the 3 patches as one before them get accepted?

Thanks Hong ________________________________ From: HAGIO KAZUHITO(�尾　一仁) <k-hagio-ab(a)nec.com&gt; Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 16:21 To: Hong Yang3 杨红 <hong.yang3(a)nio.com&gt; Cc: Discussion list for crash utility usage, maintenance and development <crash-utility(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: RE: arm64: Support overflow stack panic 注意：此封邮件来自于公司外部，请注意信息安全！ Attention: This email comes from outside of the company, please pay attention to the information security!

So how about making these function like this? arm64_in_alternate_stack arm64_on_irq_stack arm64_on_overflow_stack arm64_on_irq_stack arm64_in_alternate_stackv(irq_stacks) arm64_on_overflow_stack arm64_in_alternate_stackv(overflow_stacks) Thanks, Kazu -----Original Message----- > Hi Kazu > > Here are the latest patches for supporting to run bt command against a core dump with kernel stack overflow > exception for arm64. > > Please help to review and advise if any further change needed. > > Tested bt command with options: > > bt > bt -a > bt -c 3 > > By the way, 'mach' command also updated to show overflow stacks info as same as IRQ stacks. > > Thanks > Hong > ________________________________ > > From: HAGIO KAZUHITO(�尾　一仁) <k-hagio-ab(a)nec.com&gt; > Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 15:23 > To: Hong Yang3 杨红 <hong.yang3(a)nio.com&gt; > Cc: Discussion list for crash utility usage, maintenance and development <crash-utility(a)redhat.com&gt; > Subject: RE: arm64: Support overflow stack panic > > 注意：此封邮件来自于公司外部，请注意信息安全！ > Attention: This email comes from outside of the company, please pay attention to the information security! > > Hi Hong, > > Thank you for the patch and sending it to this list. > > -----Original Message----- > > Hi Crash > > > > I'll keep refining the patch before it get approved: > > OK, so we will wait for the refined patch. > > Thanks, > Kazu > > > > > > > 1.
