<title>i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in dump_trace() (again)</title>

Commit 028a690a1ebc8b "i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in
dump_trace()" correctly removed the unneeded 'task != NULL'
check because it would be set to current if it was NULL.

Commit 2bc5f927d489 "i386: split out dumpstack code from
traps_32.c" moved the code from traps_32.c to its own file
dump_stack.c for preparation of the i386 / x86_64 merge.

Commit 8a541665b906 "dumpstack: x86: various small unification
steps" worked to make i386 and x86_64 dump_stack logic similar.
But this actually reverted the correct change from
028a690a1ebc8b.

Commit d0caf292505d "x86/dumpstack: Remove unneeded check in
dump_trace()" removed the unneeded "task != NULL" check for
x86_64 but left that same unneeded check for i386, that was
added because x86_64 had it!

This chain of events ironically had i386 add back the unneeded
task != NULL check because x86_64 did it, and then the fix for
x86_64 was fixed by Dan. And even more ironically, it was Dan's
smatch bot that told me that a change to dump_stack_32 I made
may be wrong if current can be NULL (it can't), as there was a
check for it by assigning task to current, and then checking if
task is NULL.

<title>x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32</title>

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.

x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.

Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

<title>x86: Prepare removal of previous_esp from i386 thread_info structure</title>

<content type='text'>
The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).

The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).

By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing
it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes
a stepping stone to moving the thread_info.

The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this
patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed
in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the
change.

<title>dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()</title>

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms.  This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.

show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.

* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

  alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
  metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
  um, xtensa

* Already prints debug info.  Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
  The printed information is superset of what used to be there.

  arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86

* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
  along with generic debug info.  Heiko and Martin think that the
  arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
  Converted to use the generic version.

Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

An example BUG() dump follows.

<title>x86: Move call to print_modules() out of show_regs()</title>

Printing the list of loaded modules is really unrelated to what
this function is about, and is particularly unnecessary in the
context of the SysRQ key handling (gets printed so far over and
over).

It should really be the caller of the function to decide whether
this piece of information is useful (and to avoid redundantly
printing it).

<title>x86/debug: Add KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; to bare printks, convert printks to pr_&lt;level&gt;</title>

Use a more current logging style:

 - Bare printks should have a KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; for consistency's sake
 - Add pr_fmt where appropriate
 - Neaten some macro definitions
 - Convert some Ok output to OK
 - Use "%s: ", __func__ in pr_fmt for summit
 - Convert some printks to pr_&lt;level&gt;

Message output is not identical in all cases.

<title>x86: Avoid double stack traces with show_regs()</title>

What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().

Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

While for a user mode register dump it may be reasonable to skip
those (albeit x86-64 doesn't do so), for kernel mode dumps these
should be printed to make sure all information possibly
necessary for analysis is available.

<title>x86, dumpstack: Fix code bytes breakage due to missing KERN_CONT</title>

When printing the code bytes in show_registers(), the markers around the
byte at the fault address could make the printk() format string look
like a valid log level and facility code.  This would prevent this byte
from being printed and result in a spurious newline:

[ 7555.765589] Code: 8b 32 e9 94 00 00 00 81 7d 00 ff 00 00 00 0f 87 96 00 00 00 48 8b 83 c0 00 00 00 44 89 e2 44 89 e6 48 89 df 48 8b 80 d8 02 00 00
[ 7555.765683]  8b 48 28 48 89 d0 81 e2 ff 0f 00 00 48 c1 e8 0c 48 c1 e0 04

Add KERN_CONT where needed, and elsewhere in show_registers() for
consistency.
