[PATCH v3 04/12] module: Add printk format to add module build ID to stacktraces
From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Tue Mar 30 2021 - 23:06:35 EST
Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build
ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full
debuginfo for a particular stacktrace. Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching
debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the
module. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the
kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the
recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on
the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for
space limited devices).
Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected
given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs
aren't meaningful. There was some discussions on the list to put every
module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace
message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more
than three or four modules linked in. It also provides too much
information when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a
stacktrace. Having the build ID for modules that aren't important just
makes things messy. Splitting it to multiple lines for each module
quickly explodes the number of lines printed in an oops too, possibly
wrapping the warning off the console. And finally, trying to stash away
each module used in a callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed
is cumbersome and would require changes to each architecture to stash
away modules and return their build IDs once unwinding has completed.
Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing a new printk
format '%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID"
and then updating the few places in the architecture layer where the
stacktrace is printed to use this new format.
Example:
