[PATCH v3 11/13] x86/dumpstack/64: Handle faults when printing the "Stack:" part of an OOPS

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
Date: 2016-06-20 23:46:43
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

If we overflow the stack into a guard page, we'll recursively fault
when trying to dump the contents of the guard page.  Use
probe_kernel_address so we can recover if this happens.
