Format of an 'oops' call trace (in show_trace)

["Amir Hermelin" <amir@montilio.com>]

Hi,
Can someone please point me to a description of what I see in the Call of
the oops dump?  I tried looking into show_trace and lookup_symbol functions,
but I couldn't understand some things.  For example, in this following
trace:
Oct  7 17:13:54 joji kernel: [<e01bae00>] reqrdata [mymod] 0x0 (0xd5543fb4))

Oct  7 17:13:54 joji kernel: [<e01a5220>] mymod [mymod] 0x0 (0xd5543fe0)) 
I don't understand the relevance to reqrdata (since it's not a function, but
a data structure, and isn't the parameter to the mymod function).  And could
someone please explain what the 0x0 in the lines mean? From the code I
understood it to be the offset of the symbol within the module, but that
can't be right if both symbols translate to the same offset - so I must've
understood it wrong.

Thanks for any help,
Amir.
