      x86: don't destroy %rbp on kernel-mode faults · 9d8ad5d6
      Vegard Nossum authored
      From the code:
      
          "B stepping K8s sometimes report an truncated RIP for IRET exceptions
          returning to compat mode. Check for these here too."
      
      The code then proceeds to truncate the upper 32 bits of %rbp. This means
      that when do_page_fault() is finally called, its prologue,
      
          do_page_fault:
              push %rbp
              movl %rsp, %rbp
      
      will put the truncated base pointer on the stack. This means that the
      stack tracer will not be able to follow the base-pointer changes and
      will see all subsequent stack frames as unreliable.
      
      This patch changes the code to use a different register (%rcx) for the
      checking and leaves %rbp untouched.
