Hi, I was investigating a 64 bit linux kernel dump . I have following
doubts regarding usage of crash. 1) I wanted to access the intermediate kernel stack frames.
To know the status of the frame and the point of failure. When I tried to access a stack
frame I get an error message “crash: prohibited gdb command: frame”.
Can you please let me know if there is any other way of accessing
the kernel stack frames using crash. 2) When I run bt in crash, I get a stack trace. Another person
from a different team reported a slightly different stack trace to mine. Below
are the stack traces. The register contents are quite different between the two My stack trace PID: 13366 TASK: ffff88031b60d580 CPU:

current context. How can it be done? I tried using struct command, but
it did not help 4) When I run the command readelf -a vmcore, I get an error
message ”readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic
bytes at the start.” Please help regarding the above queries.
