Subject: [PATCH] update v2 fix X86_64 procfs provide stack information for threads
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:22:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257240160.4889.24.camel@wall-e> (raw)
This patch fix two issues in the procfs stack information on X86_64
linux.
The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack start (this was
figured out by alexey).
The stack information on a X64_64 kernel always show 0 kbyte stack
usage, because of a miss implemented KSTK_ESP macro which always return
-1. The new implementation returns now the right value.
The patch is against 2.6.32-rc5-git5.
Please apply this patch!
Greetings,
Stefani
