Re: Kernel backtrace possiblities

I'm using 2.4.18 kernel.

You want a trace on the kernel part or user part? For kernel part, the
back trace you can find in
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c, but for user space part, a glibc API
backtrace() is provided, but not very powerful, the gdb can help do
the backtrace much better.

Thanks! Its for the kernel part I want a backtrace. I have used the
show_trace_task(struct task_struct* tsk) function successfully but it
shows backtrace for all threads except the current thread. Do you know
how I can backtrace the "current" thread?

BRs,
Markus
