NAME
gstack - print a stack trace of a running process SYNOPSIS
gstack pid DESCRIPTION
gstack attaches to the active process named by the pid on the command line, and prints out an execution stack trace. If ELF symbols exist in the binary (usually the case unless you have run strip(1)), then symbolic addresses are printed as well. If the process is part of a thread group, then gstack will print out a stack trace for each of the threads in the group. SEE ALSO

NAME
trace-cmd-stack - read, enable or disable Ftrace Linux kernel stack tracing. SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd stack DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) stack enables the Ftrace stack tracer within the kernel. The stack tracer enables the function tracer and at each function call within the kernel, the stack is checked. When a new maximum usage stack is discovered, it is recorded. When no option is used, the current stack is displayed. To enable the stack tracer, use the option --start, and to disable the stack tracer, use the option --stop. The output will be the maximum stack found since the start was enabled. Use --reset to reset the stack counter to zero. SEE ALSO
