Hi,
Thank you so much for your reference.
Yes, I have already gone through the process stack usage, which I
found slightly different.
However, I will go through it in more detail, and see if I can gain
some ideas from there.
I found a similar irq_stack_usage implementation in parisc architecture:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/parisc/kernel/irq.c?h=v4.19.1
I have also gone through the unwind_frame() part in arch/arm64/stacktrace.c:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c?h=v4.9.137
By referring to these, I tried to make a similar approach for arm64:
I created a new function: dump_irq_stack_info()
[arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c], and called it as part of show_stack().
This is the experimental patch I created.
Note: This is just for my experiment purpose. I know this is ugly and
in very bad shape right now.
It is only to get some idea about irq stack usage.

void show_stack(struct task_struct *tsk, unsigned long *sp)
{
dump_backtrace(NULL, tsk);
+ dump_irq_stack_info();
barrier();
}
Then, I developed a sample kernel module for timer handler
(timerirq.c) and called the dump_stack() function from inside my timer
interrupt handler.
The dump_stack() will internally call show_stack(), which will then
call our function: dump_irq_stack_info().
/* From interrupt context */
static void my_timer_irq_handler(unsigned long ptr)
{
int i;
unsigned long flags;
if (in_interrupt()) {
pr_info("[timerirq]: %s: in interrupt context, count: %d\n",
__func__, count);
spin_lock_irqsave(&mylock, flags);
+ dump_stack();
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mylock, flags);
} else {
/* This is not needed here*/
}
tasklet_schedule(&my_tasklet);
}
OUTPUT:
------------
With this, I got the below output as part of dump_stack() and backtrace:
<snip>
[ 43.267923] CPU UNUSED-STACK ACTUAL-STACK
[ 43.271925] 0 16368 16384
[ 43.275493] 1 16368 16384
[ 43.279061] 2 16368 16384
[ 43.282628] cpu:3 : sp: on irq_stack
[ 43.286195] 3 15616 16384
[ 43.289762] 4 16368 16384
[ 43.293330] 5 16368 16384
[ 43.296898] 6 16368 16384
[ 43.300465] 7 16368 16384
<snip>
So, I observed that my interrupt handler was executed by cpu3, and
it's irq_stack usage is shown:
3 15616 16384
With this information, I can know that which interrupt handler is
using how much irq_stack ?
Is this approach valid ?
Or still there is much better way to dump the information ?
For example: is it possible to keep storing the irq_stack_usage (for
each cpu in a variable) information from boot time, and then use this
variable to dump the irq_stack information, after the system booted,
may be from proc entry ?
Thanks,
Pintu
