Yes. If we set unlimit core dump, fio will generate a core with
backtrace like this one:
#0 mfspr (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:55
55 asm volatile("mfspr %0,%1": "=r" (val) : "K" (reg));
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.ppc64 libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.ppc64
(gdb) bt
#0 mfspr (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:55
#1 get_cpu_clock (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:71
#2 atb_child (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:88
#3 atb_clocktest (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:98
#4 arch_init (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:116
#5 initialize_fio (envp=<value optimized out>) at libfio.c:248
