Any idea why it didn't?)

I think the missing iret regs are due to a bug in show_trace_log_lvl(), where if the unwind starts with two regs frames in a row, the second regs don't get printed. Alexander, would you mind reproducing again with the below patch? It should still fail, but this time it should hopefully show another RIP/RSP/EFLAGS instead of the "do_double_fault+0xb/0x140" line. diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c b/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c index 36b17e0febe8..39a320d077aa 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c @@ -103,6 +103,7 @@ void show_trace_log_lvl(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs, unwind_start(&state, task, regs, stack); stack = stack ? : get_stack_pointer(task, regs); + regs = unwind_get_entry_regs(&state); /* * Iterate through the stacks, starting with the current stack pointer. @@ -120,7 +121,7 @@ void show_trace_log_lvl(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs, * - hardirq stack * - entry stack */ - for (regs = NULL; stack; stack = PTR_ALIGN(stack_info.next_sp, sizeof(long))) { + for ( ; stack; stack = PTR_ALIGN(stack_info.next_sp, sizeof(long))) { const char *stack_name; if (get_stack_info(stack, task, &stack_info, &visit_mask)) {
