From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx> My recent experience in debugging ARM64 tests on EFI was not as fun as I expected it to be. There were several reasons for that besides the questionable definition of "fun": 1. ARM64 is not compiled with frame pointers and there is no stack unwinder when the stack is dumped. 2. Building an EFI drops the debug information. 3. The addresses that are printed on dump_stack() and the use of GDB are hard because taking code relocation into account is non trivial. The patches help both ARM64 and EFI for this matter. The image address is printed when EFI is used to allow the use of GDB. Symbols are emitted into a separate debug file. The frame pointer is included and special entry is added upon an exception to allow backtracing across exceptions. v1->v2: * Andrew comments [see in individual patches] * Few cleanups Nadav Amit (6): efi: keep efi debug information in a separate file lib/stack: print base addresses on efi arm64: enable frame pointer and support stack unwinding arm64: stack: update trace stack on exception efi: print address of image arm64: dump stack on bad exception arm/Makefile.arm | 3 -- arm/Makefile.arm64 | 1 + arm/Makefile.common | 8 +++++- arm/cstart64.S | 13 +++++++++ configure | 3 ++ lib/arm64/asm-offsets.c | 6 +++- lib/arm64/asm/stack.h | 3 ++ lib/arm64/processor.c | 1 + lib/arm64/stack.c | 62 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/efi.c | 4 +++ lib/stack.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++-- x86/Makefile.common | 5 +++- 12 files changed, 132 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/arm64/stack.c -- 2.34.1
