What do you think of this addition to the x86 debug code, Keith:
If you get an NMI oops it says:
NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP on CPU1, registers:
CPU: 1
EIP: 0010:[<c01fe212>]
EFLAGS: 00000086
Waiting on spinlock! Spinner's EIP is [<c0130d7a>]
...
And if you get a spindeadlock with interrupts enabled
and hit ALT-SYSRQ-P it says:
CPU:1 << This is new, as well.
EIP: 0010:[<c01fe1b7>] EFLAGS: 00000286
Waiting on spinlock! Spinner's EIP is [<c0130d7a>]
EAX: 0000000f EBX: cded5fbc ECX: 00000002 EDX: 000008fc
ESI: 00000000 EDI: 00000000 EBP: bffff5e4 DS: 0018 ES: 0018
CR0: 8005003b CR2: 4000a820 CR3: 0e0fc000 CR4: 00000090
Doing this for rwlocks is, umm, trickier.
Will ksymoops automatically parse the EIP?
