x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully
There are at least two unwinder bugs hindering the debugging of stack-overflow crashes: - It doesn't deal gracefully with the case where the stack overflows and the stack pointer itself isn't on a valid stack but the to-be-dereferenced data *is*. - The ORC oops dump code doesn't know how to print partial pt_regs, for the case where if we get an interrupt/exception in *early* entry code before the full pt_regs have been saved. Fix both issues. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171126024031.uxi4numpbjm5rlbr@treble Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bpetkov@suse.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Laight <David.Laight@aculab.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Valentin <eduval@amazon.com> Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: H.
