Re: Stack check failure with qemu_x86

There's no need to enable the stack sentinel on this target.

qemu_x86, by default, has MMU-assisted stack overflow protection enabled.

Unless you can reproduce this only when the sentinel is enabled? In which case this is a very interesting situation, please let me know.

 

In GDB you can set a breakpoint on _SysFatalErrorHandler() to debug when issues happen, all fatal exceptions go through there.

Subject: [Zephyr-users] Stack check failure with qemu_x86

 

Hi

 

I am running IPSP sample app using qemu_86 (on master branch).

I have enabled following to detect stack corruption.

 

+CONFIG_DEBUG=y

+CONFIG_STACK_USAGE=y

+CONFIG_STACK_SENTINEL=y

 

This results in stack check error.

I tried attaching gdb, but the qemu itself terminates resulting on closure of debug connection

 

Can someone give me pointers how to debug the same?
