Thanks for the patch.
but it seems that it stops "bt -e" and "bt -E" options working, can
we
keep them?
Yes, they seem to be broken anyway, I'll re-post an
x86_64_exception_frame() EFRAME_VERIFY fix later when I can combine it
with a bt -e/-E solution.
I see the bt -e case fail because x86_64_eframe_search() walks up the
userspace stack in ulongs sized steps with the loop count based on the
kernel stack size in ulongs. x86_64_eframe_search() does this for each
loop iteration:
if (x86_64_exception_frame(EFRAME_SEARCH|EFRAME_PRINT|EFRAME_VERIFY, 0,
(char *)up, bt, fp))
The multiple flags mean crash master doesn't do the requested
EFRAME_VERIFY (per my previous post). If the EFRAME_VERIFY is performed
then the second argument kvaddr being the zero constant would fail at
the beginning of x86_64_exception_frame() because the supplied kvaddr is
constant zero:
if (flags & EFRAME_VERIFY) {
if (!accessible(kvaddr) ||
!accessible(kvaddr + SIZE(pt_regs) - sizeof(long)))
return FALSE;
basically, the supplied kvaddr argument ensures EFRAME_VERIFY will fail
before even trying an EFRAME_SEARCH and an EFRAME_PRINT will never be
reached. For every step of the for loop through the userspace stack.
The EFRAME_VERIFY block in x86_64_exception_frame() does not verify the
local argument. In current form, if EFRAME_VERIFY is actually performed,
you must supply a kvaddr to find/print an exception on the userspace
stack. Plus, the size assumed for the userspace stack by
x86_64_eframe_search() is the computed size of the kernel stack.
Also, I could not apply the patch as is because of a few format
issues.
I think your MTA or something replaced tabs with spaces and inserted a
new line between the "ulong kvaddr," and "char *local,". We can fix
this when applying but if you update the patch for the above comment,
please fix it as well (if possible). It would be helpful.
I'm sorry, a clipboard copy from git diff output in a console and paste
into an e-mail, my error. I'll re-post it correctly when I have a bt
-e/-E fix.
Thanks,
David.
