FWIW, I just tried this:
static bool is_entry_text(unsigned long addr)
{
return addr >= (unsigned long)__entry_text_start &&
addr < (unsigned long)__entry_text_end;
}
it works. So the entry code is already annotated reasonably well :)
I just hacked it up here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/commit/?h=stack&id=085eacfe0edfc18768e48340084415dba9a6bd21
and it seems to work, at least for page faults. A better
implementation would print out the entire contents of pt_regs so that
people reading the stack trace will know the registers at the time of
the exception, which might be helpful.Sorry for being dense, but how do you distinguish here between a "real" kernel entry, that pushes pt_regs, and any "non-entry" function call that passes pt_regs around? -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
