Stack Tracing using Ftrace

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

 



Hi,

I wrote a module and somehow it is corrupting the thread_info of the process.
After some debugging I concluded that its corrupting the kernel stack.

Then I came across Ftrace to get the stack trace, which confirmed high stack usage.

I see around 7K in the depth section of first entry in "stack_trace".

At the same time I run a stap script to get the current stack usage using "stack_used"  function.
It comes around 4k.

To my understanding the depth section of first entry in "stack_trace" and value retuned by
stack_used should match.

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks
Neependra
