I get this:

Is your problem on a MMU or noMMU system?

If the unwinder stops early, it found a return address outside the
kernel text, or couldn't find the addik that creates a stack frame - but
there's not enough information here to tell what happened. In your case
the backtrace goes off the rails before getting to the frame for
dump_stack(), which is where the stack dump begins. We'd need to see the
21 words preceding the dump (show_stack's frame is 13 words, and
microblaze_unwind's is 8) to know why.

Can you uncomment the #define DEBUG in unwind.c and try it again?

Thanks,
