[PATCH 11/13] x86/dumpstack/64: Handle faults when printing the "Stack:" part of an OOPS

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Jun 15 2016 - 20:29:18 EST


If we overflow the stack into a guard page, we'll recursively fault
when trying to dump the contents of the guard page. Use
probe_kernel_address so we can recover if this happens.
