Subject: [PATCH v2 00/44] x86/dumpstack: rewrite x86 stack dump code

There are a lot of changes since last time.  See the v2 changelog for
more details.

A git branch is available at:
  
  https://github.com/jpoimboe/linux unwind-v2

Based on tip/master.

v2 changelog:
- split up several of the patches and reorder them with lower-risk
  patches first
- add a lot more comments
- remove the 64-byte gap at the end of the irq stack
- fix some existing ftrace function graph unwinding issues
- fix an existing bug in kernel_stack_pointer()
- clarify the origins of the stack_info "next stack" pointers
- do visit_mask checking in get_stack_info() instead of in_*_stack()
- add some new unwinder warnings
- remove uses of test_and_set_bit()
- dont print regs->ip twice
- remove unwind_state.sp
- have unwind_get_return_address() validate the return address
- change /proc/pid/stack to use %pB
- several minor cleanups and fixes

----

The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess.  dump_trace() uses
callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different
requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating
around.

Also there are some upcoming features which will require more changes to
the stack dump code: reliable stack detection for live patching,
hardened user copy, and the DWARF unwinder.  Each of those features
would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces, resulting
in a much bigger mess than what we have today.

Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace
dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible.

The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by
a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com

It's also similar to the libunwind API:

  http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html

Some if its advantages:

- simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication.

- flexibility: allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state at
  each step in the unwinding process.

- modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack
  metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one
  of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others.
