[PATCH 4.7 25/31] x86/dumpstack: Fix x86_32 kernel_stack_pointer() previous stack access

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

commit 72b4f6a5e903b071f2a7c4eb1418cbe4eefdc344 upstream.

On x86_32, when an interrupt happens from kernel space, SS and SP aren't
pushed and the existing stack is used.  So pt_regs is effectively two
words shorter, and the previous stack pointer is normally the memory
after the shortened pt_regs, aka '&regs->sp'.

But in the rare case where the interrupt hits right after the stack
pointer has been changed to point to an empty stack, like for example
when call_on_stack() is used, the address immediately after the
shortened pt_regs is no longer on the stack.  In that case, instead of
'&regs->sp', the previous stack pointer should be retrieved from the
beginning of the current stack page.

kernel_stack_pointer() wants to do that, but it forgets to dereference
the pointer.  So instead of returning a pointer to the previous stack,
it returns a pointer to the beginning of the current stack.

Note that it's probably outside of kernel_stack_pointer()'s scope to be
switching stacks at all.  The x86_64 version of this function doesn't do
it, and it would be better for the caller to do it if necessary.  But
that's a patch for another day.  This just fixes the original intent.
