2016-10-25scripts/faddr2line: Fix "size mismatch" errorJosh Poimboeuf
I'm not sure how we missed this problem before. When I take a function address and size from an oops and give it to faddr2line, it usually complains about a size mismatch: $ scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 skipping write_sysrq_trigger address at 0xffffffff815731a1 due to size mismatch (0x60 != 83) no match for write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 The problem is caused by differences in how kallsyms and faddr2line determine a function's size. kallsyms calculates a function's size by parsing the output of 'nm -n' and subtracting the next function's address from the current function's address. This means that nop instructions after the end of the function are included in the size. In contrast, faddr2line reads the size from the symbol table, which does *not* include the ending nops in the function's size. Change faddr2line to calculate the size from the output of 'nm -n' to be consistent with kallsyms and oops outputs.

2016-09-19scripts/faddr2line: improve on base path filtering a bitLinus Torvalds
Due to our compiler include directives, the build pathnames for header files often end up being of the form "$srcdir/./include/linux/xyz.h", which ends up having that extra "." path component after the build base in it. Teach faddr2line to skip that too, to make code generated in inline functions in header files match the filename for the regular C files. Rabin Vincent pointed out that I can't make a stricter regexp match by using the " at " prefix for the pathname, because that ends up being locale-dependent. But this does require that the path match be preceded by a space, to make it a bit more strict (that matters mainly if we didn't find any base_dir at all, and we only end up with the "./" part of the match) Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-09-19scripts: add script for translating stack dump function offsetsJosh Poimboeuf
addr2line doesn't work with KASLR addresses. Add a basic addr2line wrapper script which takes the 'func+offset/size' format as input. Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
