Hi, I got a problem where it seemed crash got a bad backtrace. The problem occurred under the following conditions: On a qemu guest system loading a module that stuck at the init function(say, call a function that did deadlooping), then dumped the guest by `virsh dump vm dumpfile', and run crash on the dumpfile. The module is: --- #include <linux/module.h> int endless_loop(void) { printk("endless loop\n"); while (1); return 0; } int __init endless_init(void) { endless_loop(); return 0; } module_init(endless_init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); --- crash bt command got: crash> bt -a PID: 0 TASK: ffffffff81648020 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "swapper" #0 [ffffffff81601e08] schedule at ffffffff813e8a49 #1 [ffffffff81601e18] apic_timer_interrupt at ffffffff8100344e #2 [ffffffff81601ea0] need_resched at ffffffff8100970c #3 [ffffffff81601eb0] default_idle at ffffffff81009f6b #4 [ffffffff81601ec0] cpu_idle at ffffffff81001bf5 PID: 1088 TASK: ffff88001dda2d60 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "insmod" #0 [ffff88001e751dc8] schedule at ffffffff813e8a49 #1 [ffff88001e751dd0] schedule at ffffffff813e8aec #2 [ffff88001e751e80] preempt_schedule_irq at ffffffff813e8c90 #3 [ffff88001e751e90] retint_kernel at ffffffff813eab86 #4 [ffff88001e751f20] do_one_initcall at ffffffff81000210 #5 [ffff88001e751f50] sys_init_module at ffffffff8106b7ca #6 [ffff88001e751f80] system_call_fastpath at ffffffff81002a82 RIP: 00007f761bb58b7a RSP: 00007fff67a43120 RFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 00000000000000af RBX: ffffffff81002a82 RCX: 0000000000020010 RDX: 0000000000b96010 RSI: 00000000000163da RDI: 0000000000b96030 RBP: 0000000000b96010 R8: 0000000000010011 R9: 0000000000080000 R10: 00007f761bb4b140 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 00000000000163da R13: 00007fff67a44985 R14: 00000000000163da R15: 0000000000b96010 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000af CS: 0033 SS: 002b Does it lose some function calls between do_one_initcall and retint_kernel? (endless_loop <- endless_init)
