    x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in dumpstack.c · a343c75d
    H. Peter Anvin authored
    The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
    32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
    pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
    actual previous stack frame.  For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
    instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.
    
    Furthermore, user_mode() is only valid when the process is known to
    not run in V86 mode.  Use the safer user_mode_vm() instead.
