* Remove stack unwinder for nowLinus Torvalds2006-12-151-61/+2
| | | | | | | | | | It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed. We can put it back when it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse. In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

* [PATCH] x86-64: Speed up dwarf2 unwinderJan Beulich2006-10-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Some config.h removalsZachary Amsden2006-10-011-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | During tracking down a PAE compile failure, I found that config.h was being included in a bunch of places in i386 code. It is no longer necessary, so drop it.

* [PATCH] x86_64: allow unwinder to build without module supportJan Beulich2006-06-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | Add proper conditionals to be able to build with CONFIG_MODULES=n. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: fall back to old-style call trace if no unwindingJan Beulich2006-06-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | If no unwinding is possible at all for a certain exception instance, fall back to the old style call trace instead of not showing any trace at all. Also, allow setting the stack trace mode at the command line. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: reliable stack trace supportJan Beulich2006-06-261-0/+119
These are the generic bits needed to enable reliable stack traces based on Dwarf2-like (.eh_frame) unwind information. Subsequent patches will enable x86-64 and i386 to make use of this. Thanks to Andi Kleen and Ingo Molnar, who pointed out several possibilities for improvement.
