Willy Tarreau 9740f15274 MINOR: debug: in call traces, dump the 8 bytes before the return address, not after
In call traces, we're interested in seeing the code that was executed, not
the code that was not yet. The return address is where the CPU will return
to, so we want to see the bytes that precede this location. In the example
below on x86 we can clearly see a number of direct "call" instructions
(0xe8 + 4 bytes). There are also indirect calls (0xffd0) that cannot be
exploited but it gives insights about where the code branched, which will
not always be the function above it if that one used tail branching for
example. Here's an example dump output:
