    ARM: 9224/1: Dump the stack traces based on the parameter 'regs' of show_regs() · 09cffeca
    Zhen Lei authored
    Function show_regs() is usually called in interrupt handler or exception
    handler, it prints the registers specified by the parameter 'regs', then
    dump the stack traces. Although not explicitly documented, dump the stack
    traces based on'regs' seems to make the most sense. Although dump_stack()
    can finally dump the desired content, because 'regs' are saved by the
    entry of current interrupt or exception. In the following example we can
    see: 1) The backtrace of interrupt or exception handler is not expected,
    it causes confusion. 2) Something is printed repeatedly. The line with
    the kernel version "CPU: 0 PID: 70 Comm: test0 Not tainted 5.19.0+ #8",
    the registers saved in "Exception stack" which 'regs' actually point to.
    
    For example:
    rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
    rcu:    0-....: (499 ticks this GP) idle=379/1/0x40000002 softirq=91/91 fqs=249
            (t=500 jiffies g=-911 q=13 ncpus=4)
