Is there an api to print stack trace from within kernel driver?

WINDBG

Hi,
I have a requirement to print the stack trace from within the kernel driver
to know the
sequence of function call?

Is there any such api available in Windows?
If there is no api, is there a workaround to do the same?

Regards,
-Praveen

For user mode, check out StackWalk64 and friends:

Obviously the debugger api can do this for KM code, but I don’t know
of any preexisting APIs in the kernel.

I use RtlCaptureStackBackTrace in my chk build driver to log call stack
in selected spots and use kd to dump records when my driver croaks.

Good luck,
