RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0317 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE crash bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:54:59 UTC

Description Stanislav Kozina 2012-06-21 12:03:12 UTC 
Description of problem:

The bt command correctly searches for symbols found on the stack.
However it just prints the symbol itself, not the offset from the symbol.
Therefore it's often necessary to get the offset with the next command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -qf `which crash`
crash-5.1.8-1.el6.x86_64
megatron$ rpm -qf `which crash`
crash-6.0.5-0.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bt
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Heavily shortened:
crash> bt
PID: 26899  TASK: ffff81020b54e100  CPU: 2   COMMAND: "java"
 #5 [ffff8101f95ebc20] sock_sendmsg at ffffffff80054e87
 #6 [ffff8101f95ebdc0] sys_sendmsg at ffffffff8022f850
 #7 [ffff8101f95ebf80] system_call at ffffffff8005d116

Expected results:

crash> bt
PID: 26899  TASK: ffff81020b54e100  CPU: 2   COMMAND: "java"
 #5 [ffff8101f95ebc20] sock_sendmsg+0xf8 at ffffffff80054e87
 #6 [ffff8101f95ebdc0] sys_sendmsg+0x217 at ffffffff8022f850
 #7 [ffff8101f95ebf80] system_call+0x7e at ffffffff8005d116

Additional info:

I used the same output for symbol as the `sym' command gives.
Comment 1 Dave Anderson 2012-06-21 13:27:00 UTC 
No, that's not going to change -- at least by default.  I would consider 
adding an option to the "bt" command that would show the function offset.

And then there's the issue of the displays for all of the supported
architectures, which goes through the crash utility's arch-maintainers
upstream.

In fact all of these BZ's should have been posted to the crash-utility
mailing list.  Please consider joining that list:

  https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility

No changes that you have suggested would be put into place without
going upstream first.

That's a pitty - sometimes it's good to see directly how far in the function the call was done.

Sure, proper change would need to be done correctly for all architectures.

Thank you for the mailing list - I was not aware of that.
Already sent you sign request.

Right -- the idea is to take the function address, and cut-and-paste
it to "dis -rl <address>.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:52:04 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:10:48 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 6 Dave Anderson 2012-08-16 15:39:45 UTC 
Addressed with new "bt -s" option in crash-6.0.8:

http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html#6_0_8

    - Added new "bt -s [-xd]" options that will display symbol names plus
      their offset in each frame.  The default behavior is unchanged, where
      only the symbol name is displayed.  The symbol offset will be
      expressed in the default output format, which can be overridden with
      the -x or -d options.
