[PATCH 01/21] x86/unwinder/orc: Don't bail on stack overflow

[Ingo Molnar]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

If we overflow the stack into a guard page and then try to unwind it
with ORC, it 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.

This patch fixes a bug that unwinding from working correctly: if the
starting register state has RSP pointing into a stack guard page, the
ORC unwinder bails out immediately.  This patch fixes that: the ORC
unwinder will start the unwind.

I tested this 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, and Josh has WIP
patches to fix those as well.
