[PATCH -rc] [BUGFIX] x86: fix kernel_trap_sp()

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon May 11 2009 - 17:01:44 EST


Use &regs->sp instead of regs for getting the top of stack in kernel mode.
(on x86-64, regs->sp always points the top of stack)

[ impact: Oprofile decodes only stack for backtracing on i386 ]
