Hello,
I have a stm32h7 board, based on the stm32h743zi2 nucleo.
I have activated the watchdog.
The method to do the kthread was copied from this :
https://github.com/apache/nuttx/blob/master/boards/arm/stm32/photon/src/stm32_wdt.c#LL146C7-L146C7
The watchdog works, the system is stable
But now, the nsh 'ps' command ends up with a crash when trying to
list
the kthread that resets the watchdog.
The problem has appeared between current trunk and revision
13d823f30710e6fabd3d6429a03bc37e1086c9e7
Here is the GDB session, a bit after cmd_ps is entered:
(pid 4 is the watchog maintenance kthread created like in the file
above)

This is not good! Too many non null values in that array, some of
them
are not pointers! The value 3 is found in the BFAR of the crash dump.
kthread_create was called with argv = NULL
This calls kthread_create_with_stack with argv = NULL
This calls nxthread_create with argv = NULL
This calls nxtask_init with argv = NULL, envp=NULL
goto sched/task/task_init.c
This goes to nxtask_setup_arguments with argv=NULL
goto sched/task/task_setup.c
This calls nxtask_setup_stackargs
Looks like this function does the right thing.
I should get argc=0, allocation of two pointers, one for the task
name
and one for the final null arg.
Then what is happening? Why do I see invalid values in the argv
array?
Can someone help me? Can someone try to reproduce this?
I have built this image with a make distclean, apply config, make,
so I
dont expect dangling files.
Thanks,
Sebastien
