[PATCH] scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: better support to ARM32 module stack trace
Posted by xndcn 1 year, 8 months ago 
Since System.map is generated by cross-compile nm tool, we should use it
here too. Otherwise host nm may not recognize thumb2 function address well.

Beside, sometimes special characters around module name, such as ARM32
with BACKTRACE_VERBOSE in "(%pS)" format, such as:
[<806e4845>] (dump_stack_lvl) from [<7f806013>] (hello_init+0x13/0x1000 [test])

After stripping other characters around "[module]", it can be finally decoded:
(dump_stack_lvl) from hello_init (/foo/test.c:10) test

Sorry about the name, it is some kind of abbreviation. So I re-post here:

The nm parts should be a separate patch.

I need to get a moment to play with it. Is my understanding correct that
the problem is that the last word ($module) is:

[test])

and after the existing strip logic, $module becomes test]) whereas
expecting just "test"? Your change is to strip any leading/trailing
characters before/after the [ / ] respectively? Isn't this a problem for
$symbol as well -- it would be "(hello_init+0x13/0x1000" in the example.

[PATCH v2 2/2] scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: better support to ARM32 module stack trace
Posted by Xiong Nandi 1 year, 8 months ago 
Sometimes there is special characters around module name in stack trace,
such as ARM32 with BACKTRACE_VERBOSE in "(%pS)" format, such as:
[<806e4845>] (dump_stack_lvl) from [<7f806013>] (hello_init+0x13/0x1000 [test])

After stripping other characters around "[module]", it can be finally decoded:
(dump_stack_lvl) from hello_init (/foo/test.c:10) test

I think it'd be better to just remove the parenthesis similar to how is
done in the symbol name.

That is:

		module=${words[$last]}
		module=${module#\[}
		module=${module%\]}
		# some nice comment explaining only the closing paren is
		# need to be stripped
		module=${module%\)}
		modbuildid=${module#* }

Thanks, I'll split it into 2 patches later.

Yes, exactly.

there is already a strip logic in "parse_symbol()", which seems
introduced by #e260fe01, also for ARM.
