no unfortunately it does not work. First I had to fix a compile error because
"softe" is not defined for ppc_32 in the linux kernel in ptrace.h. I changed it
temporary to "mq" in runtime/unwind/ppc_64.h and then I was able to compile my
probe.
I gave it a try with a simple main.c which calls a function foo(). My probe was:
probe process("/usr/local/bin/main").function("foo")
{
print_ubacktrace()
}
But the output is:
0x10000448 : foo+0x1c/0x7c [/usr/local/bin/main]
So the calling function main() was not shown on an ARM architecture a similar
setup shows:
0x83b8 : foo+0x14/0x64 [/usr/local/bin/main]
0x8444 : main+0x3c/0x40 [/usr/local/bin/main]
So there is still something missing for ppc32.
Best regards
Holger
