Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] perf debug: Add function symbols to dump_stack
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 22:29:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313052952.871958-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250313052952.871958-1-irogers@google.com>

Symbolize stack traces by creating a live machine. Add this
functionality to dump_stack and switch dump_stack users to use
it. Switch TUI to use it. Add stack traces to the child test function
which can be useful to diagnose blocked code.

Example output:
```
  8: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields                       : Running (1 active)
^C
Signal (2) while running tests.
Terminating tests with the same signal
Internal test harness failure. Completing any started tests:
:  8: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields:
