Subject: [PATCH 19/28] x86_64: Correct the identifier when locating the call
instruction
The previous implementation to locate the call instruction is
to strstr "call", then check whether the previous char is ' '
or '\t'. The implementation is problematic. For example it
cannot resolve the following disassembly string:
"0xffffffffc0995378 <nfs41_callback_svc+344>:\tcall 0xffffffff8ecfa4c0 <schedule>\n"
strstr will locate the "_call" and char check fails,
as a result, extract_hex fails to get the calling address.
NOTE: the issue is more likely to be reproduced when patch[1] applied.
Because without patch[1], the disassembly string will be as follows,
so the issue is no longer reproducible.
"0xffffffffc0995378:\tcall 0xffffffff8ecfa4c0 <schedule>\n"
Before the patch:
crash> bt 1472
PID: 1472 TASK: ffff8c121fa72f70 CPU: 18 COMMAND: "nfsv4.1-svc"
#0 [ffff8c16231a3db8] __schedule at ffffffff8ecf9ef3
#1 [ffff8c16231a3e40] schedule at ffffffff8ecfa4e9
After the patch:
crash> bt 1472
PID: 1472 TASK: ffff8c121fa72f70 CPU: 18 COMMAND: "nfsv4.1-svc"
#0 [ffff8c16231a3db8] __schedule at ffffffff8ecf9ef3
#1 [ffff8c16231a3e40] schedule at ffffffff8ecfa4e9
#2 [ffff8c16231a3e50] nfs41_callback_svc at ffffffffc099537d [nfsv4]
#3 [ffff8c16231a3ec8] kthread at ffffffff8e6b966f
#4 [ffff8c16231a3f50] ret_from_fork at ffffffff8ed07898
This patch fix the issue by strstr "\tcall" and " call", to
locate the correct call instruction.
