Decode stacktrace question

amoghmc

Do we need to find out the bug after running decode_stacktrace? Because I am having a hard time analyzing the output of decode_stacktrace.

The usage of decode_stacktrace is to convert your function names with address offsets to function names with file and line numbers. As far as I understood, we don't really need to work on the bug itself as long as we can use the script to do the conversion and understand the flow of kernel functions that resulted in the concerned trace.

When I run decode_stacktrace it only prints out the assembly code. It does not appear to change the address offsets and just preserves it. Is that normal?

No, it is not - I can't comment more - we are not supposed to discuss the tasks amongst us :
