From 608e2619682e951f525b08e7a48669a3c0263b41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:41:39 -0700 Subject: generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Kyle McMartin Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/bug.h | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/bug.h b/include/linux/bug.h index 42aa0a54b6f..54398d2c6d8 100644 --- a/include/linux/bug.h +++ b/include/linux/bug.h @@ -10,6 +10,8 @@ enum bug_trap_type { BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG = 2, }; +struct pt_regs; + #ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG #include @@ -20,7 +22,7 @@ static inline int is_warning_bug(const struct bug_entry *bug) const struct bug_entry *find_bug(unsigned long bugaddr); -enum bug_trap_type report_bug(unsigned long bug_addr); +enum bug_trap_type report_bug(unsigned long bug_addr, struct pt_regs *regs); int module_bug_finalize(const Elf_Ehdr *, const Elf_Shdr *, struct module *); @@ -31,7 +33,8 @@ int is_valid_bugaddr(unsigned long addr); #else /* !CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG */ -static inline enum bug_trap_type report_bug(unsigned long bug_addr) +static inline enum bug_trap_type report_bug(unsigned long bug_addr, + struct pt_regs *regs) { return BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG; } -- cgit v1.2.3
