Hello all,
Really strange thing happening here.. I can't see the full stack trace with
'bt' command in gdb.
So I tried with fresh linux-5.10.122 source and qemu-6.2.0 source and it's
happening too!
(it's happening when I do combinations with linux 5.10.0 and qemu-5.1.0. But
it's not happening with linux-5.4.21)
I would be grateful if somebody could check if this happens to other people
or just me.
1. download linux-5.1.122 tarball from https://www.kernel.org/
2. uncompress it and set env variable ARCH=arm64,
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- , do "make defconfig" and "make -j`nproc`
Image"
3. download qemu-6.2.0 from https://www.qemu.org/
4. uncompress it and do "mkdir build" "cd build" "../configure
--target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-debug"
5. run qemu and wait for debugger to attach.
qemu-6.2.0/build/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine
virt,gic-version=max,secure=off,virtualization=true -cpu max -kernel

6. run debugger, do "aarch64-none-elf-gdb linux-6.10.112/vmlinux -x\
It has been long time since I compiled linux kernel but I guess, either you need to compile kernel with enabled frame pointer, and/or you need to enable debug symbol embedded into final kernel image. cmiiw
gdb_script"
(gdb_script content :
target remote :1234
layout src
b start_kernel
b __driver_attach
)
Now, in gdb, when you press 'c' twice, it'll stop at the first
__driver_attach. (first one stops at start_kernel).
When you are at __attach_driver, type 'bt'. See if you see the full function
stack trace.
This is what I see.
(gdb) bt
#0 __driver_attach (dev=0xffff000002582810, data=""> <dummy_regulator_driver+40>)
at drivers/base/dd.c:1060
#1 0xffff8000107a3ed0 in bus_for_each_dev (bus=<optimized out>,
start=<optimized out>,
data="" <dummy_regulator_driver+40>,
fn=0xffff8000107a6f60 <__driver_attach>)
at drivers/base/bus.c:305
#2 0xd6d78000107a5c58 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
I used to see more thatn 20 stacks trace but strangely I see only two.
I can still see many stacks for linux-5.4.21 that I was working with in the
past.
Could anyone check if this happens to anyone?
I think if I add BLK_DEV_RAM and set initramfs.cpio.gz in the linux build,
the kernel will boot ok to the shell prompt.
Only the gdb can't show the stack levels.
My OS : ubuntu-20.04 5.13.0-35-generic
$ aarch64-none-elf-gdb --version
