[PATCH -tip v14 05/12] x86: add pt_regs register and stack access APIs

Masami Hiramatsu
2009-08-13T20:32:54Z

Add following APIs for accessing registers and stack entries from pt_regs.
These APIs are required by kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace.
Some other debugging tools might be able to use it too.

- regs_query_register_offset(const char *name)
Query the offset of "name" register.

- regs_query_register_name(unsigned int offset)
Query the name of register by its offset.

- regs_get_register(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int offset)
Get the value of a register by its offset.

- regs_within_kernel_stack(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long addr)
Check the address is in the kernel stack.

- regs_get_kernel_stack_nth(struct pt_regs *reg, unsigned int nth)
Get Nth entry of the kernel stack. (N >= 0)

- regs_get_argument_nth(struct pt_regs *reg, unsigned int nth)
Get Nth argument at function call. (N >= 0)
