Hello Han,
I've never worked on the backtrace code for ppc64, as it was written
by (and maintained by) IBM. From the debug messages, what happened is
that the starting IP/SP hooks are not being found. The crash command
sequence presumably looks like this:
cmd_bt
back_trace
get_kdump_regs
get_netdump_regs
get_netdump_regs_ppc64 (should setup bt->machdep to point to NT_PRSTATUS note)
ppc64_get_stack_frame
ppc64_get_dumpfile_stack_frame
ppc64_kdump_stack_frame (should get IP/SP pair based upon NT_PRSTATUS note contents)
ppc64_back_trace_cmd
ppc64_back_trace
ppc64_kdump_stack_frame() should pull the starting NIP/KSP values from the
pt_regs structure in the per-cpu NT_PRSTATUS note, but it appears that it is not,
leaving the registers at their initialized values of NULL.
This causes the failure later on when ppc64_back_trace_cmd() is called, and which
prints the "=> PC: 0 () FP: 0" debug message shown below, and later on ppc64_back_trace()
prints the "cannot find the stack info." debug message.
Without the dumpfile, I can't offer much else. Can you verify the crash utility
stack trail above, and if it is as I suspect, figure out why ppc64_kdump_stack_frame()
is failing? Or what other path it is taking?
