[v2,08/13] x86/dumpstack: When OOPSing, rewind the stack before do_exit

Commit Message

Andy Lutomirski June 17, 2016, 8 p.m. UTC

If we call do_exit with a clean stack, we greatly reduce the risk of
recursive oopses due to stack overflow in do_exit, and we allow
do_exit to work even if we OOPS from an IST stack.  The latter gives
us a much better chance of surviving long enough after we detect a
stack overflow to write out our logs.

I intentionally separated this from the preceding patch that
disables do_exit-on-OOPS on IST stacks.  This way, if we need to
revert this patch, we still end up in an acceptable state wrt stack
overflow handling.
