[PATCH 4.14 075/159] x86/unwinder/orc: Dont bail on stack overflow

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit d3a09104018cf2ad5973dfa8a9c138ef9f5015a3 upstream.

If the stack overflows into a guard page and the ORC unwinder should work
well: by construction, there can't be any meaningful data in the guard page
because no writes to the guard page will have succeeded.

But there is a bug that prevents unwinding from working correctly: if the
starting register state has RSP pointing into a stack guard page, the ORC
unwinder bails out immediately.

Instead of bailing out immediately check whether the next page up is a
valid check page and if so analyze that. As a result the ORC unwinder will
start the unwind.

Tested by intentionally overflowing the task stack. The result is an
accurate call trace instead of a trace consisting purely of '?' entries.

There are a few other bugs that are triggered if the unwinder encounters a
stack overflow after the first step, but they are outside the scope of this
fix.
