[PATCH v4 47/57] x86/dumpstack: print orig_ax in __show_regs()

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Aug 18 2016 - 09:20:15 EST


The value of regs->orig_ax contains potentially useful debugging data:
For syscalls it contains the syscall number. For interrupts it contains
the (negated) vector number. To reduce noise, print it only if it has a
useful value (i.e., something other than -1).

Here's what it looks like for a write syscall:

RIP: 0033:[<00007f53ad7b1940>] 0x7f53ad7b1940
RSP: 002b:00007fff8de66558 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001
RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000046 RCX: 00007f53ad7b1940
RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 00007f53ae0ca000 RDI: 0000000000000001
...
