From 5a267832c2ec47b2dad0fdb291a96bb5b8869315 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 10:55:45 -0700 Subject: MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs() The generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() function calls show_regs() when a struct pt_regs is available, and dump_stack() otherwise. If we were to make use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() with MIPS' current implementation of show_regs() this would mean that we see only register data with no accompanying stack information, in contrast with our current implementation which calls dump_stack() regardless of whether register state is available. In preparation for making use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() to implement arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), have our implementation of show_regs() call dump_stack() and drop the explicit dump_stack() call in arch_dump_stack() which is invoked by arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(). This will allow the output we produce to remain the same after a later patch switches to using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). It may mean that we produce extra stack output in other uses of show_regs(), but this: 1) Seems harmless. 2) Is good for consistency between arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() and other users of show_regs(). 3) Matches the behaviour of the ARM & PowerPC architectures. Marked for stable back to v4.9 as a prerequisite of the following patch "MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()".
