2010-08-04microblaze: Add stack unwinderSteven J. Magnani
Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation, and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the entire binary kernel stack. Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap (interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later. Changes from V1: * Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame creation instruction in heavily optimized code * Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments * Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate Signed-off-by: Steven J.
