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:

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 9c0729dc80 ("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:

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:
<4>Process kworker/0:0 (pid: 0, threadinfo ffff88003c8a6000, task ffff88003c85c100)

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

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.

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

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.

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

There's a corner case in 32 bit x86 kdump at the moment. When the box
panics via nmi, we call bust_spinlocks(1) to disable sensitivity to the
console_sem (allowing us to print to the console in all cases), but we don't
call crash_kexec, until after we call bust_spinlocks(0), which re-enables
console_sem sensitivity.
The result is that, if we get an nmi while the console_sem is held and
kdump is configured, and we try to print something to the console during
kdump shutdown (which we often do) we deadlock the box. The fix is to
simply do what 64 bit die_nmi does which is to not call bust_spinlocks(0)
until after we call crash_kexec.
