如何查看一个函数的调用流程

如果函数的调用比较深，跳来跳去的看源码好像很麻烦，其实可以用gdb的查看栈信息来实现，这个是在陶辉的nginx module开发里面学来的。

比如要看nginx是如何进入ngx_XXX_handler方法的，栈信息如下所示：

#0  ngx_XXX_handler (r=0x6d5650)

    at nginx_XXX_module/ngx_XXX_module.c:646

#1  0x0000000000429e77 in ngx_http_core_content_phase (r=0x6d5650, ph=0x6e17d8)

)

    at src/event/modules/ngx_epoll_module.c:518

#9  0x00000000004181cb in ngx_process_events_and_timers (cycle=0x6cb1d0)

    proc=0x420271 <ngx_worker_process_cycle>, data=0x0, name=0x5171a4 "worker process",

    respawn=-3) at src/os/unix/ngx_process.c:194

#12 0x000000000041f8df in ngx_start_worker_processes (cycle=0x6cb1d0, n=1, type=-3)

这样函数是怎么执行调用的，一目了然。
