Hi guys:
Where can I find user-space registers in an x86-64 kernel dump?

thanks!


Kernel performs saving user-space registers at several kernel entry
points such as system calls, interrupts and exceptions. Concretely,
look carefully into ./arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S.

Also crash-gcore-command would help you, which tries to collect such
registers. It's available here:
http://people.redhat.com/anderson/extensions.html.

Thanks.
HATAYAMA, Daisuke

With respect to the crash utility and dumpfiles, user-space register contents
are captured into a "pt_regs" data structure that is stored at the top of each
user task's kernel stack upon entry into kernel-space (whether via syscall,
interrupt, or exception), and those registers are displayed by the "bt" command.
