Hello All!
[ Simple question. Probably FAQ - but I cannot find it. ]
How can I print call stack trace, just like BUG() does?
But without asm(".long 0") as BUG() does.
Is there any function which can be used by module to just
investigate some given call path?

Maybe
dump_stack();
is what you're searching for?

Assuming 2.6, call dump_stack(). If you want greater flexibility,
investigate show_trace() and friends.
Hope this helps,

Try dump_stack() (declared in <linux/kernel.h>).

Thanks to every one!
Already looking into the source code.
P.S.
But it looks like ppc (as of 2.4.22) doesn't implement it.
But still BUG() on ppc prints stack trace... I'm just no specialist
in cpu exception handling. especially on ppc :-(

I'm sitting right now on 2.4.22 - so no 2.6 nicities.
I actually wanted to have something like this on ppc - but ppc has no
dump_stack() implemented.
Thanks any way.
[ Just checked 2.6 - ppc has dump_stack() now. Nice. It looks like
all archs have implemented it in 2.6. Cool. ]
