PSTACK(1) Linux Programmer's Manual PSTACK(1)NAME
pstack - print a stack trace of running processes
SYNOPSIS
pstack pid [...]
DESCRIPTION
pstack attaches to the active processes named by the pids on the command line, and prints out an execution stack trace, including a hint at
what the function arguments are. If 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 pstack will print out a stack trace for each of the threads in the group.
RESTRICTIONS
pstack currently works only on Linux, only on an x86 machine running 32 bit ELF binaries (64 bit not supported). Also, for symbolic infor-
mation, you need to use a GNU compiler to generate your program, and you can't strip symbols from the binaries. For thread information to
be dumped, you have to use the debug-aware version of libpthread.so. (To check, run nm(1) on your pthreads library, and make sure that the
symbol "__pthread_threads_debug" is defined.)

TRACE-CMD-STACK(1)TRACE-CMD-STACK(1)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.

Hi Guys,
I just wondering if any of the AIX gurus with some exposure to Linux Redhat can tell me whether in Linux ( Red Hat or OpenSuse ) we have a similar option/capability like the CIO (Concurrent I/O) which is currently available on AIX. The reason I'm asking is because in the past we... (2 Replies)
