I had to look into a kernel oops recently. This was produced on a ARM machine. It was relatively easy to understand this message. These messages have become much more simple to analyse these days. I am making this quick post to remember one register: LR
LR: This register holds the address to which PC will be set to once you hit return. This simply means, this is the caller of the function where the trouble occurred.
The point where failure happened can be seen by looking at PC. Also, SP points at the current stack location. When I scrolled down, I could see some good back tracing information too.
