We'd like to add arguments to the backtrace in Oops messages to make debugging from these reports more efficient. It is particularly useful for determining where the problem was generated, particularly when bad pointers are passed in. This is for production embedded devices with optimized code and which reboot immediately after storing or sending the Oops message. Performance is an issue, but the overhead of storing the arguments on the stack is likely worth the added debug info.

Sounds like you're out of luck. Perhaps you'd do better to go one step back and explain what you're trying to do? -- Dominic Sweetman MIPS Technologies
