Hi Dave et. al.,
For ARM {k,net}dumps panic tasks we go to great lengths to locate
the prstatus data (crash registers) in
netdump.c:get_netdump_regs_arm()
In fact we rely so hard on them having been read from the CORE
ELF notes and put in either
nd->nt_prstatus_percpu
or
nd->nt_prstatus
that there's a segfault if that's not the case. The thing is,
once we've gone through all that trouble of finding them, and
making sure bt->machdep points to them,
arm.c:arm_get_stack_frame() is called, which ends up getting the
crash registers from
machdep->machspec->crash_task_regs
anyway. These are read directly from within the PT_LOAD segments
ignoring the contents any ELF notes.
I suggest changing get_netdump_regs_arm() to:
static void
get_netdump_regs_arm(struct bt_info *bt, ulong *eip, ulong *esp)
{
machdep->get_stack_frame(bt, eip, esp);
}
If we're not going to use the ELF notes, why fail if they're not
there?
Regards
