[PATCH] Eliminate task stack trace duplication.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The problem with small dmesg ring buffer like 512k is that only limited number
of task traces will be logged. Sometimes we lose important information only
because of too many duplicated stack traces.

This patch tries to reduce the duplication of task stack trace in the dump
message by hashing the task stack. The hashtable is a 32k pre-allocated buffer
during bootup.

Sample output:
