RESEND: Add xmon command to dump process/task similar to ps(1)

[Douglas Miller]

Resending with Signed-Off line.

Request for comments

Add a command to xmon that prints basic task information like
ps(1) but includes the kernel stack pointer for use with 't'
(traceback) command.

Adds a macro to be used to wrap memory access with setjmp code
to protect against memory faults.

Is additional locking required? Any other concerns?

Thanks,
Doug

Re: [PATCH] Add xmon command to dump process/task similar to ps(1)

[Michael Ellerman]

Hi Doug,

Your subject should be something more like:

"powerpc/xmon: Add command to dump process/task similar to ps(1)"

On Thu, 2015-11-19 at 06:31 -0600, Douglas Miller wrote:

And you need to write a change log. It doesn't have to be an opus, but there
should be something here.

eg. Where did you get the mapping of the state to the letters, and does it
match the generic code?

You should be wrapping the for_each_process() loop in the PROTECT macro as well
as the call to procshow(). There are pointer dereferences in the for each macro
that could fault if you have a corrupted task list.
