Sometimes there are crashes in multiplatform products where only some portion of Crash Signature (Volume 6, page 37) is similar, for example:
x86: cmp dword ptr [eax], 1 x64: cmp dword ptr [r10]. 1
One crash dump had the following condensed stack trace:
0: kd> kc DriverA win32k!DrvSetMonitorPowerState win32k!xxxSysCommand win32k!xxxRealDefWindowProc win32k!NtUserfnNCDESTROY win32k!NtUserMessageCall nt!KiSystemServiceCopyEnd
With the following faulting instruction:
DriverA+0x1234: cmp dword ptr [r11],1 ds:002b:00000000`00000000=????????
A search for DriverA led to this x86 crash analyzed some time ago:
0: kd> kc DriverA nt!IopfCallDriver win32k!GreDeviceIoControl win32k!DrvSetMonitorPowerState win32k!xxxSysCommand win32k!xxxRealDefWindowProc win32k!xxxWrapRealDefWindowProc win32k!NtUserfnNCDESTROY win32k!NtUserMessageCall nt!KiSystemServicePostCall
0: kd> r DtiverA+0x1423: cmp dword ptr [ecx],1 ds:0023:00000000=????????
We see common function names on both stack traces and overall flow is the same (only 3 functions are omitted in x64 trace); we see the same NULL pointer dereference for the same comparison instruction with the same comparison operand, #1.
