Of course, kdump can get more message. But it need do some a lot > of other config. If you have frame pointers enabled, the backtrace is _never_ wrong. It only goes wrong if you disable frame pointers, at which point the unwind tables have to be used. > When kernel die, show some message: > S2C:elf_class=1 > S2C:elf_data=1 > S2C:elf_arch=40 > S2C:elf_osabi=0 > S2C:r0=0x00000000; > S2C:r1=0xc7822000; > S2C:r2=0xc7823f48; > S2C:r3=0x00000003; > S2C:r4=0x00000000; > S2C:r5=0x00000000; > S2C:r6=0x00000000; > S2C:r7=0x00000000; > S2C:r8=0x00000000; > S2C:r9=0x00000000; > S2C:r10=0x00000000; > S2C:fp=0xc7823ff4; > S2C:ip=0xc7823f48; > S2C:sp=0xc7823fd8; > S2C:lr=0xc01911f8; > S2C:pc=0xc0008470; > S2C:cpsr=0x60000013; > S2C:ORIG_r0=0xffffffff; > > S2C:stack=0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, > S2C:stack=0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, > S2C:stack=0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xf8, 0x3f, 0x82, 0xc7, > S2C:stack=0x60, 0x26, 0x04, 0xc0, 0xa8, 0x83, 0x00, 0xc0, > S2C:stack=0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, Please don't invent yet another way of dumping stuff out of the kernel. What we already have is sufficient for your needs - there's no reason what so ever to change it to achieve your goals. We already dump the registers and the stack, which seems to be all that you require.
