When printing the code bytes in show_registers(), the markers around the
byte at the fault address could make the printk() format string look
like a valid log level and facility code. This would prevent this byte
from being printed and result in a spurious newline:

rbp is used in SAVE_ARGS_IRQ to save the old stack pointer
in order to restore it later in ret_from_intr.
It is convenient because we save its value in the irq regs
and it's easily restored using the leave instruction.
However this is a kind of abuse of the frame pointer which
role is to help unwinding the kernel by chaining frames
together, each node following the return address to the
previous frame.
But although we are breaking the frame by changing the stack
pointer, there is no preceding return address before the new
frame. Hence using the frame pointer to link the two stacks
breaks the stack unwinders that find a random value instead of
a return address here.
There is no workaround that can work in every case. We are using
the fixup_bp_irq_link() function to dereference that abused frame
pointer in the case of non nesting interrupt (which means stack
changed).
But that doesn't fix the case of interrupts that don't change the
stack (but we still have the unconditional frame link), which is
the case of hardirq interrupting softirq. We have no way to detect
this transition so the frame irq link is considered as a real frame
pointer and the return address is dereferenced but it is still a
spurious one.
There are two possible results of this: either the spurious return
address, a random stack value, luckily belongs to the kernel text
and then the unwinding can continue and we just have a weird entry
in the stack trace. Or it doesn't belong to the kernel text and
unwinding stops there.
This is the reason why stacktraces (including perf callchains) on
irqs that interrupted softirqs don't work very well.
To solve this, we don't save the old stack pointer on rbp anymore
but we save it to a scratch register that we push on the new
stack and that we pop back later on irq return.
This preserves the whole frame chain without spurious return addresses
in the middle and drops the need for the horrid fixup_bp_irq_link()
workaround.
And finally irqs that interrupt softirq are sanely unwinded.

When regs are passed to dump_stack(), we fetch the frame
pointer from the regs but the stack pointer is taken from
the current frame.
Thus the frame and stack pointers may not come from the same
context. For example this can result in the unwinder to
think the context is in irq, due to the current value of
the stack, but the frame pointer coming from the regs points
to a frame from another place. It then tries to fix up
the irq link but ends up dereferencing a random frame
pointer that doesn't belong to the irq stack:

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
End result looks like below:

In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code:
...
if (!stack) {
unsigned long dummy;
stack = &dummy;
if (task && task != current)
stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp;
}
bp = stack_frame(task, regs);
/*
* Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the
* current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested
* exceptions
*/
tinfo = task_thread_info(task);
for (;;) {
char *id;
unsigned long *estack_end;
estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack,
&used, &id);
...
You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:
(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task
In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then
- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,
- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),
- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.
Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.
This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

The stack output currently looks like this:
7fffffffffffffff 0000000a00000000 ffffffff81093341 0000000000000046
<0> ffff88003a545fd8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00007fffa39769c0
<0> ffff88003e403f58 ffffffff8102fc4c ffff88003e403f58 ffff88003e403f78
The superfluous <0> are caused by recent printk KERN_CONT
change. <*> is now ignored in printk unless some text follows
the level and even then it still has to be the first in the
format message.
Note that the log_lvl parameter is now completely ignored in
show_stack_log_lvl and the stack is dumped with the default
level (like for quite some time already). It behaves the same as
the rest of the dump, function traces are dumped in the very
same manner. Only Code and maybe some lines are printed with
EMERG level.
Unfortunately I see no way how to fix this conceptually to have
the whole oops/BUG/panic output with the same level, so this
removed only the superfluous characters for the time being.
Just for illustration:

arch/x86/include/asm/stacktrace.h and arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.h
declare headers of objects that deal with the same topic.
Actually most of the files that include stacktrace.h also include
dumpstack.h
Although dumpstack.h seems more reserved for internals of stack
traces, those are quite often needed to define specialized stack
trace operations. And perf event arch headers are going to need
access to such low level operations anyway. So don't continue to
bother with dumpstack.h as it's not anymore about isolated deep
internals.

Callers of a stacktrace might pass bad frame pointers. Those
are usually checked for safety in stack walking helpers before
any dereferencing, but this is not the case when we need to go
through one more frame pointer that backlinks the irq stack to
the previous one, as we don't have any reliable address boudaries
to compare this frame pointer against.
This raises crashes when we record callchains for ftrace events
with perf because we don't use the right helpers to capture
registers there. We get wrong frame pointers as we call
task_pt_regs() even on kernel threads, which is a wrong thing
as it gives us the initial state of any kernel threads freshly
created. This is even not what we want for user tasks. What we want
is a hot snapshot of registers when the ftrace event triggers, not
the state before a task entered the kernel.
This requires more thoughts to do it correctly though.
So first put a guardian to ensure the given frame pointer
can be dereferenced to avoid crashes. We'll think about how to fix
the callers in a subsequent patch.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.
But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:
- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
pointer and to link the new one to the previous.
- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
dereference instead of one.
In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.
Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

Happens because on preempt-RCU, khungd calls show_stack() with
preemption enabled.
Make sure we are not preemptible while walking the IRQ and exception
stacks on 64-bit. (32-bit stack dumping is preemption safe.)

Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu. Make the
stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code.
Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot
adjustments.
tj: * sprinkle some underbars around.
* irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to
initialize it early. On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper
initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works. Dropped
is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization.
* do DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU(char[IRQ_STACK_SIZE], irq_stack)
instead of (char, irq_stack[IRQ_STACK_SIZE]).

Impact: better dumpstack output
I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.
But we lose out where the actually function was called from.
This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.
This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:
Depth Size Location (80 entries)
----- ---- --------
0) 4144 48 save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d
1) 4096 128 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b
2) 3968 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18
3) 3952 384 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
4) 3568 -240 stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
5) 3808 144 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
6) 3664 -128 mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe
7) 3792 128 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
8) 3664 -32 scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]
As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

Impact: cleanup
As promised, now that dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64 have so many bits
in common, we should merge the in-sync bits into a common file, to
prevent them from diverging again.
This patch removes bits which are common between dumpstack_32.c and
dumpstack_64.c and places them in a common dumpstack.c which is built
for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit
is not to be called.
Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call
to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected
not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0
instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use
signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.
