如何以编程方式从父进程获取子进程的堆栈跟踪？

Question

假设我在程序中创建了一个子进程。在某个时刻，我使用kill(child, SIGSTOP)暂停子进程，并希望检查堆栈的内容。有没有办法从父进程中以编程方式获取子进程的堆栈跟踪？

我知道ptrace是跟踪子进程并检查其内存/寄存器的标准方法。我还知道backtrace为调用线程提供此功能。是否有将这些功能合并的函数或库？还是我需要使用ptrace手动遍历堆栈？

对于任何感兴趣的人 - 可能的方法似乎是使用libunwind的ptrace功能（我仍在测试中）。请参见此页面。此外，这里有一个有用的示例，说明如何使用libunwind获得类似GDB的输出。我仍然欢迎任何人可能有的建议！ - tonysdg

回答自己的问题——这是可行的。你需要使用libunwind和ptrace。 libunwind提供了一个ptrace的包装器，允许您展开远程目标。这是一个运行NPB基准测试(cg，A类)的示例代码：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <wait.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <libunwind.h>
#include <libunwind-x86_64.h>
#include <libunwind-ptrace.h>
#include <signal.h>

#define panic(X) fprintf(stderr, #X "\n");

static unw_addr_space_t as;
static struct UPT_info *ui;

void do_backtrace(pid_t child) {

    ui = _UPT_create(child);
    if (!ui) {
        panic("_UPT_create failed");
    }

    ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, child, 0, 0);
    struct timespec t = { .tv_sec = 0, t.tv_nsec = 1000000 };
    nanosleep(&t, NULL);

    unw_cursor_t c;
    int rc = unw_init_remote(&c, as, ui);
    if (rc != 0) {
        if (rc == UNW_EINVAL) {
            panic("unw_init_remote: UNW_EINVAL");
        } else if (rc == UNW_EUNSPEC) {
            panic("unw_init_remote: UNW_EUNSPEC");
        } else if (rc == UNW_EBADREG) {
            panic("unw_init_remote: UNW_EBADREG");
        } else {
            panic("unw_init_remote: UNKNOWN");
        }
    }

    do {
        unw_word_t  offset, pc;
        char        fname[64];

        unw_get_reg(&c, UNW_REG_IP, &pc);
        fname[0] = '\0';
        (void) unw_get_proc_name(&c, fname, sizeof(fname), &offset);

        printf("\n%p : (%s+0x%x) [%p]\n", (void *)pc,
                                          fname,
                                          (int) offset,
                                          (void *) pc);
    } while (unw_step(&c) > 0);


    ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, child, 0, 0);

    _UPT_destroy(ui);
}


int main(int argc __attribute__((unused)), char **argv, char **envp) {

    as = unw_create_addr_space(&_UPT_accessors, 0);
    if (!as) {
        panic("unw_create_addr_space failed");
    }

    pid_t child;
    child = fork();

    if (!child) {

        execve("/home/#######/#######/my_utilities/child_bt/cg.A.x",
                argv, envp);

        return 0;

    } else {

        struct timespec t = { .tv_sec = 1, .tv_nsec = 0 };
        nanosleep(&t, NULL);

        do_backtrace(child);

        int status;
        waitpid(child, &status, 0);

    }


    return 0;
}

输出结果如下：
