Subject: [PATCH 2/3] scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: symbol: preserve alignment
Date: Mon, 08 Sep 2025 17:41:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250908-decode_strace_indent-v1-2-28e5e4758080@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250908-decode_strace_indent-v1-0-28e5e4758080@kernel.org>

With lines having a symbol to decode, the script was only trying to
preserve the alignment for the timestamps, but not the rest, nor when
the caller was set (CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER=y).

With this sample ...

  [   52.080924] Call Trace:
  [   52.080926]  <TASK>
  [   52.080931]  dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0

... the script was producing the following output:

  [   52.080924] Call Trace:
  [   52.080926]  <TASK>
  [   52.080931] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)

  (dump_stack_lvl is no longer aligned with <TASK>: one missing space)

With this other sample ...

  [   52.080924][   T48] Call Trace:
  [   52.080926][   T48]  <TASK>
  [   52.080931][   T48]  dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0

... the script was producing the following output:

  [   52.080924][   T48] Call Trace:
  [   52.080926][   T48]  <TASK>
  [ 52.080931][ T48] dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)

  (the misalignment is clearer here)

That's because the script had a workaround for CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y
only, see the previous comment called "Format timestamps with tabs".

To always preserve spaces, they need to be recorded along the words.
That is what is now done with the new 'spaces' array.

Some notes:

- 'extglob' is needed only for this operation, and that's why it is set
  in a dedicated subshell.

- 'read' is used with '-r' not to treat a <backslash> character in any
  special way, e.g. when followed by a space.

- When a word is removed from the 'words' array, the corresponding space
  needs to be removed from the 'spaces' array as well.

With the last sample, we now have:

  [   52.080924][   T48] Call Trace:
  [   52.080926][   T48]  <TASK>
  [   52.080931][   T48]  dump_stack_lvl (arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:19)

  (the alignment is preserved)
