Remove "Instruction dump:" line by adding a prefix to display current->comm and current->pid, along with the instructions dump.
The prefix can serve as a glue that links the instructions dump to its originator, allowing messages to be interleaved in the logs. Before this patch, a page fault looked like: pandafault[10524]: segfault (11) at 100007d0 nip 1000061c lr 7fffbd295100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000] Instruction dump: 4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe 392988d0 f93f0020 e93f0020 39400048 <99490000> 39200000 7d234b78 383f0040 After this patch, it looks like: pandafault[10850]: segfault (11) at 100007d0 nip 1000061c lr 7fff9f3e5100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000] pandafault[10850]: code: 4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe pandafault[10850]: code: 392988d0 f93f0020 e93f0020 39400048 <99490000> 39200000 7d234b78 383f0040 Signed-off-by: Murilo Opsfelder Araujo <muri...@linux.ibm.com> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c index e78799a8855a..d12143e7d8f9 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c @@ -1265,16 +1265,19 @@ static int instructions_to_print = 16; void show_instructions(struct pt_regs *regs) { int i; + const char *prefix = KERN_INFO "%s[%d]: code: "; unsigned long pc = regs->nip - (instructions_to_print * 3 / 4 * sizeof(int)); - printk("Instruction dump:"); + printk(prefix, current->comm, current->pid); for (i = 0; i < instructions_to_print; i++) { int instr; - if (!(i % 8)) + if (!(i % 8) && (i > 0)) { pr_cont("\n"); + printk(prefix, current->comm, current->pid); + } #if !defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) /* If executing with the IMMU off, adjust pc rather -- 2.17.1
