powerpc: copy_thread add a back chain to the switch stack frame
Stack unwinders need LR and the back chain as a minimum. The switch stack uses regs->nip for its return pointer rather than lrsave, so that was not set in the fork frame, and neither was the back chain. This change sets those fields in the stack. With this and the previous change, a stack trace in the switch or interrupt stack goes from looking like this: Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 90 Comm: systemd Not tainted NIP: c000000000011060 LR: c000000000010f68 CTR: 0000000000007fff [ ... regs ... ] NIP [c000000000011060] _switch+0x160/0x17c LR [c000000000010f68] _switch+0x68/0x17c Call Trace: To this: Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries CPU: 0 PID: 93 Comm: systemd Not tainted NIP: c000000000011060 LR: c000000000010f68 CTR: 0000000000007fff [ ... regs ... ] NIP [c000000000011060] _switch+0x160/0x17c LR [c000000000010f68] _switch+0x68/0x17c Call Trace: [c000000005a93e10] [c00000000000cdbc] ret_from_fork_scv+0x0/0x54 --- interrupt: 3000 at 0x7fffa72f56d8 NIP: 00007fffa72f56d8 LR: 0000000000000000 CTR: 0000000000000000 [ ... regs ... ] NIP [00007fffa72f56d8] 0x7fffa72f56d8 LR [0000000000000000] 0x0 --- interrupt: 3000 Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221127124942.1665522-14-npiggin@gmail.com
