The oops stack dump code scans the entire stack, which can cause KASAN
"stack-out-of-bounds" false positive warnings.  Tell KASAN to ignore it.

With the following commit:

  e18bcccd1a4e ("x86/dumpstack: Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder")

The task pointer argument to show_stack_log_lvl() in show_stack() was
inadvertently changed to 'current'.

All previous users of dump_trace() have been converted to use the new
unwind interfaces, so we can remove it and the related
print_context_stack() and print_context_stack_bp() callback functions.

<id>urn:sha1:e18bcccd1a4ecb41e99678e002ef833586185bf1</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder.  dump_trace() has
been deprecated.

show_trace_log_lvl() is special compared to other users of the unwinder.
It's the only place where both reliable *and* unreliable addresses are
needed.  With frame pointers enabled, most callers of the unwinder don't
want to know about unreliable addresses.  But in this case, when we're
dumping the stack to the console because something presumably went
wrong, the unreliable addresses are useful:

- They show stale data on the stack which can provide useful clues.

- If something goes wrong with the unwinder, or if frame pointers are
  corrupt or missing, all the stack addresses still get shown.

So in order to show all addresses on the stack, and at the same time
figure out which addresses are reliable, we have to do the scanning and
the unwinding in parallel.

The scanning is done with the help of get_stack_info() to traverse the
stacks.  The unwinding is done separately by the new unwinder.

In theory we could simplify show_trace_log_lvl() by instead pushing some
of this logic into the unwind code.  But then we would need some kind of
"fake" frame logic in the unwinder which would add a lot of complexity
and wouldn't be worth it in order to support only one user.

Another benefit of this approach is that once we have a DWARF unwinder,
we should be able to just plug it in with minimal impact to this code.

Another change here is that callers of show_trace_log_lvl() don't need
to provide the 'bp' argument.  The unwinder already finds the relevant
frame pointer by unwinding until it reaches the first frame after the
provided stack pointer.

<title>x86/dumpstack: Remove NULL task pointer convention</title>

show_stack_log_lvl() and friends allow a NULL pointer for the
task_struct to indicate the current task.  This creates confusion and
can cause sneaky bugs.

Instead require the caller to pass 'current' directly.

This only changes the internal workings of the dumpstack code.  The
dump_trace() and show_stack() interfaces still allow a NULL task
pointer.  Those interfaces should also probably be fixed as well.

valid_stack_ptr() is buggy: it assumes that all stacks are of size
THREAD_SIZE, which is not true for exception stacks.  So the
walk_stack() callbacks will need to know the location of the beginning
of the stack as well as the end.

Another issue is that in general the various features of a stack (type,
size, next stack pointer, description string) are scattered around in
various places throughout the stack dump code.

Encapsulate all that information in a single place with a new stack_info
struct and a get_stack_info() interface.

When calling show_stack_log_lvl() or dump_trace() with a regs argument,
providing a stack pointer or frame pointer is redundant.

The various functions involved in dumping the stack all do similar
things with regard to getting the stack pointer and the frame pointer
based on the regs and task arguments.  Create helper functions to
do that instead.

Change printk_stack_address() to be useful when called by an unwinder
outside the context of dump_trace().

Specifically:

- printk_stack_address()'s 'data' argument is always used as the log
  level string.  Make that explicit.

- Call touch_nmi_watchdog().

<title>x86/dumpstack/ftrace: Don't print unreliable addresses in print_context_stack_bp()</title>

When function graph tracing is enabled, print_context_stack_bp() can
report return_to_handler() as an unreliable address, which is confusing
and misleading: return_to_handler() is really only useful as a hint for
debugging, whereas print_context_stack_bp() users only care about the
actual 'reliable' call path.
