Subject: [PATCH v3 10/10] scripts/gdb: Decode compressed stack depot frames
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 18:57:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113185702.1332171-11-matt@readmodwrite.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113185702.1332171-1-matt@readmodwrite.com>
From: Matt Fleming <mfleming@cloudflare.com>
lx-stack_depot_lookup reads stack_record->entries directly and would
misread compressed frames as full-width addresses. Export
STACK_RECORD_COMPRESSED through constants.py.in and decompress frames
the same way as arch_stack_depot_frame_decompress() on x86-64 and
arm64.
Other architectures never compress frames (the generic hook rejects
compression), but the helper raises an error if it meets compressed
frames there.
