Subject: [PATCH v3 22/51] proc: fix return address printk conversion specifer in /proc/<pid>/stack
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 09:28:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d7626125898b9f959b25738641552cc7a24fc31b.1471011425.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1471011425.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com>

When printing call return addresses found on a stack, /proc/<pid>/stack
can sometimes give a confusing result.  If the call instruction was the
last instruction in the function (which can happen when calling a
noreturn function), '%pS' will incorrectly display the name of the
function which happens to be next in the object code, rather than the
name of the actual calling function.

Use '%pB' instead, which was created for this exact purpose.
