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

Hi Hong,
Thanks for the refinement.
 +     if (symbol_exists("overflow_stack") &&
 +         (sp = per_cpu_symbol_search("overflow_stack")) &&
 +         get_symbol_type("overflow_stack", NULL, req)) {
 +             if (CRASHDEBUG(1)) {
 +                     fprintf(fp, "overflow_stack: \n");
 +                     fprintf(fp, "  type: %x, %s\n",
 +                             (int)req->typecode,
 +                             (req->typecode == TYPE_CODE_PTR) ?
 +                                             "TYPE_CODE_PTR" :
"other");
 
Given that overflow_stack is array, TYPE_CODE_ARRAY would be better.
 @@ -2673,6 +2724,12 @@ arm64_back_trace_cmd(struct bt_info *bt)
                       bt->hp->eip : GET_STACK_ULONG(bt->hp->esp);
               stackframe.sp = bt->hp->esp + 8;
               bt->flags &= ~BT_REGS_NOT_FOUND;
 +     } else if (arm64_on_overflow_stack(bt->tc->processor, bt->frameptr)) {
 +             arm64_set_overflow_stack(bt);
 +             bt->flags |= BT_OVERFLOW_STACK;
 
I would prefer to place this into the else block below
 +             stackframe.sp = bt->stkptr;
 +             stackframe.pc = bt->instptr;
 +             stackframe.fp = bt->frameptr;
 
then we can remove these three lines.
       } else {
               if (arm64_on_irq_stack(bt->tc->processor, bt->frameptr)) {
                       arm64_set_irq_stack(bt);
 
 +static int
 +arm64_in_alternate_stack(int cpu, ulong stkptr)
 +{
 +     struct machine_specific *ms = machdep->machspec;
 +
 +     return arm64_in_alternate_stackv(cpu, stkptr,
 +                     ms->irq_stacks, ms->irq_stack_size);
 +}
 
Given that in_alternate_stack() should check if it's in non-process stacks,
I think we should check also for overflow_stacks here.  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

 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

 Hi Hong,
 Thank you for the patch and sending it to this list.

 OK, so we will wait for the refined patch.
 Thanks,
