Subject: Outreachy intern starter task for "Enhanced Profiling and Tracing Support for Unikraft"

 

Hi,

 

I summarised the points of the meeting and documented  as below.

 

 

---

 

• Aim

          In the existing system, the stack tracer just shows function address which occurs issues. It is a little bit complex for developers to debug. Thus, it is required to add a functionality to resolve the symbols.

• Process

          This task can be divided into the following parts.

1.  Modify the build system to build binaries with the symbol table.
2. Add the resolver function to a part of the libukdebug and also  provide a dummy function when the feature is disabled.
3. Add this functionality to the crash message of at least one platform.

 

•  How to do it ( the following points map to the above task part

1.  Read documents and edit the configure files to generate the symbol table.
2.  Read some open source project, such as linux, to figure out how to implement these functionality. Then read the coding style file.
3. Code and test.

 

Regards,

Ray
