Paolo, please apply :-) Some aids for debugging: stack dumping, register dumping, and printing failing assertion conditions. Compiled on ppc64, arm64, i386, x86_64. v7: * Rebased. v6: * Don't print dump_stack's call to backtrace() in the stack trace rather than having backtrace() skip over the first return address in the trace. * Actually removed lib/asm-generic/stack.c. v5: * Removed unused "b" flag from run_tests.sh * Removed misleading comment in mkstandalone.sh. v4: * Moved around arch and asm files per Linux style (hopefully). * Added --[enable|disable]-pretty-print-stacks to ./configure. This has obviated the -p command-line option in ./run_tests.sh that I introduced in v1. * Fixed arch-neutral backtrace so backtrace itself isn't included. v3: * Renamed functions to match standard backtrace functions * Added asm-generic stack walker that uses __builtin_return_address. * Moved offset out of libcflat and into pretty printer * Made pretty printer more robust w.r.t. errors: now it just continues printing. v2: * Fixed a bunch tests on x86 that broke with -fno-omit-frame-pointer. * Only use -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86. I suspect arm & ppc will have similar problems that I fixed for x86.
