functions about dump backtrace function names in mips arch

[loody]

 Dear all:
 If i remember correctly, when kernel panic there is a function I can
 use to dump all the names of backtrace functions.
 I have searched arch/mips/traps.c, but I only can see the dump
 functions of cpu registers,

 If my assumption is true, would anyone tell me what the name is or
 what Doc I can looking for?
 appreciate your help,
miloody

In x86, it's dump_stack(). The definition can be read here online:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.36/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c#L198

functions about dump backtrace function names in mips arch

[Sowmya Sridharan]

Hi,

I was able to check it in 2.6.36 version of kernel, and it is defined in 
traps.c.
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.36/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L205

dump_stack() calls show_backtrace function which had been show_trace in 
the earlier kernel versions.
I compared between 2.6.14 and the latest version, and here are the 
differences:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.14/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L110
function: show_trace
     while (!kstack_end(stack)) {
                addr = *stack++;
                if (__kernel_text_address(addr)) {
                        printk(" [<%0*lx>] ", field, addr);
                        print_symbol("%s\n", addr);
                }
        }
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the latest kernel, show_backtrace function is used, which does the same 
thing, but through different functions
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.36/arch/mips/kernel/traps.c#L126
function: show_backtrace
        printk("Call Trace:\n");
         do {
                 print_ip_sym(pc);
                 pc = unwind_stack(task, &sp, pc, &ra);
         } while (pc);

thanks for your kind help, that is what I want.
previously, I only see the address instead of function name, but after
I select CONFIG_KALLSYMS as Y, I can see the function names also.
BTW, what is the mechanism that kernel take to find out the function name?

from log such as:
<80128580>] do_softirq+0x48/0x68
i know 0x48 is the offset of do_softirq, but how can I locate precise
what the offset 0x48 of do_softirq is? "objdump -s"?

Enabling the config option, it allows to build the symbol table for
kernel. It uses /proc/kallsyms.
Below links could help:
