Hello Lianbo, On 24/06/24 05:32PM, lijiang wrote: True. Though it seems to be okay for it to print the last frame with a non-kernel address, as in this snippet from gdb: for (fi = trailing; fi && count--; fi = get_prev_frame (fi)) ... print_frame_info (fp_opts, fi, 1, LOCATION, 1, 0); Seems that frame #13, fi was not NULL. Seeing Tao's change, it compares the current frame's NIP/PC to see if it should return NULL (which I think is nice and works). Here the 'this_frame' would have been frame 12, (which would have called `'get_prev_frame' to get the frame 13) ``` frame_pc_p = get_frame_pc_if_available (this_frame, &frame_pc); #ifdef CRASH_MERGE if (!is_kvaddr(frame_pc)) { return NULL; } #endif ``` Tao's condition will hit when 'get_prev_frame(this_frame=frame#13)' will be called to get the frame #14, which will return NULL and hence break out of the loop. This is based on what I recall and a quick look at the implementation, please feel free to correct Lianbo/Tao.
