Subject: [RFC PATCH 13/19] powerpc: copy_thread add a back chain to the switch stack frame
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:54:34 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031055440.3594315-14-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221031055440.3594315-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
Stack unwinders need LR and the back chain as a minimum. The switch
stack uses regs->nip for its return pointer rather than lrsave, so
that was not filled in, and neither was the back chain.
With this and the previous change, a stack trace in the switch or
interrupt stack goes from looking like this:
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
Modules linked in:
