Subject: [PATCH] i386: break out of recursion in stackframe walk
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b88d4f1d390a6a232938d27d551f24cf08a2c7e0;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] i386: break out of recursion in stackframe walk

If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is enabled, and one does a dump_stack() during
early SMP init, an infinite stackdump and a bootup hang happens:

 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
 [...]

Due to "end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function" recursing back to itself in the
EBP stackframe-walker.  So avoid this type of recursion when walking the
stack .
