[Xen-devel] [PATCH v9 03/18] xenctx: Add -n (--display-stack-pages) option to output larger stack

[Don Slutz <dslutz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Important: This is the stack size (also known as stack limit) to
display, not the configured stack size.

Note: use with caution (easy to get garbage).

Below is a pictures of a downwards growing configured 3 page stack,
and where the SP currently is.  Each box is a page.

+ pages                     -n 1    -n 2    -n 3

End of Memory

Display using "-n 3" since the used stack pages is 3.

At a different time, the SP may be in the 1st page and so "-n 3"
will display garbage.

For example:

$ xenctx -s /boot/System.map-2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 3 1 -n 1
