Thank you James for the tip.
Following your advice, and following the similar getpcstack()'s usage
as example at:
uts/common/os/policy.c
I coded thus:
23 int _init(void)
24 {
25 int i, depth, status;
26 pc_t mystack[1024];
27 char *sym;
28 ulong_t off;
29
30 status = mod_install(&modlinkage);
31 cmn_err(CE_NOTE,"me filed\n");
32 depth = getpcstack(mystack, 10);
33 for (i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
34 sym = kobj_getsymname((uintptr_t)mystack[i], &off);
35 cmn_err(CE_NOTE, "sym=%s %x %d\n", sym, (uintptr_t) myst
ack[i], off);
36 }
37 return status;
38 }
Technically is there any problem with this piece of code?
modloading it will result in hanging the system.
