[Crash-utility] [PATCH 2/2] ppc64/opal: Improve bt output when R1 falls in OPAL range

Hari Bathini hbathini at linux.ibm.com
Mon Oct 1 17:22:50 UTC 2018


On OPAL based systems, when a thread is running an OPAL API, the stack
pointer and instruction pointer would be pointing at OPAL address but
'bt' output for such thread would complain that the stack pointer is
invalid. Update error/log message for better context.
