Subject: Accessing the user stack inside system call service routine
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 09:43:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D084D1F.95AFFCBB@icn.siemens.de> (raw)
Hello,
I want to access/record the user stack within the system call
service routine sys_sigsuspend() (arch/ppc/signal.c),
in order to debug hanging threads.
The user register context is passed to sys_sigsuspend() via
the 'struct pt_regs *regs' argument.
In this way I can obtain the stack pointer r1
(via regs->gpr[1]) and catch the PPC EABI stack frames.
But I see all zeros behind 'regs->gpr[1]' instead of proper
stack frames. What is wrong ?
How can I access the user stack within a
system call service routine (sys_XXX) ?
Thank you for help,
Steffen
