FUNCTION::DUMP_STACK(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::DUMP_STACK 💖

okay bestie, you're in the Logging Tapset section of the SystemTap Tapset Reference and this little icon is about to send your kernel's backtrace straight to the trace buffer. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

function::dump_stack — Send the kernel backtrace to the kernel trace buffer 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dump_stack()

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

None 🙈

like literally zero. nothing to pass, nothing to stress about. it takes no arguments, periodt.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Print the current kernel backtrace to the kernel trace buffer. 🫶

now the tea ☕: it can not be safely called from all kernel probe contexts, so it is restricted to guru mode only. that's not a suggestion bestie, that's the vibe check it's gotta pass 😭

under the hood, it calls the kernel C API function dump_stack directly. no cap, that's the whole trick ✨

⚠️ guru mode only, fr fr. if you're not in guru mode, this is not the function for you 💀
