[libunwind] libunwind kernel vrs. userspace

[Troy Heber]

The basic question is, can libunwind be use to unwind the kernel stacks. 
 
I'm trying to use libunwind to unwind a physical memory kernel dump. To me it
looks like libunwind is really intended for user space application unwinding,
because there already exists a kernel unwind interface that utilizes the
kernel's own unwind table. 

For example: 

When using the find_proc_info accessor call back, it appears that void
*unwind_info wants to receive a pointer to the ELF .IA_64.unwind section. 

I could supply the ELF .IA_64.unwind section from the vmlinux file, but it
wouldn't contain module unwind entries from the unw_add_unwind_table()
routine. 

Is there a way to use libunwind with the kernel's unwind table?

Thanks, 

Troy
