Architecture: amd64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
ddb's "backtrace" command doesn't show any function arguments
on an amd64 machine. One example is:
db{5}> bt
breakpoint() at netbsd:breakpoint+0x5
panic() at netbsd:panic+0x260
__kernassert() at netbsd:__kernassert+0x2d
uipc_usrreq() at netbsd:uipc_usrreq+0x850
sosend() at netbsd:sosend+0x506
soo_write() at netbsd:soo_write+0x2d
dofilewrite() at netbsd:dofilewrite+0x81
sys_write() at netbsd:sys_write+0x72
syscall() at netbsd:syscall+0x9a
>How-To-Repeat:
Type "bt" at a ddb prompt on an amd64 machine.
>Fix:
Not sure. Just changing amd64/md64/db_trace.c:db_numargs()
to return "6" instead of "0" didn't look to provide realistic
function args at a glance - I think this is similar to
sparc/mips/<other-register-args-archs> do? Maybe tempt the
compiler somehow to save function arguments on the stack?
