[PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/process: fix interleaved output in show_user_instructions()

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Sep 06 2018 - 04:51:17 EST


When two processes crash at the same time, we sometimes encounter
interleaving in the middle of a line:

[ 4.365317] init[1]: segfault (11) at 0 nip 0 lr 0 code 1
[ 4.370452] init[1]: code: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[ 4.372042] init[74]: segfault (11) at 10a74 nip 1000c198 lr 100078c8 code 1 in sh[10000000+14000]
[ 4.386829] XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[ 4.391542] init[1]: code: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[ 4.400863] init[74]: code: 90010024 bf61000c 91490a7c 3fa01002 3be00000 7d3e4b78 3bbd0c20 3b600000
[ 4.409867] init[74]: code: 3b9d0040 7c7fe02e 2f830000 419e0028 <89230000> 2f890000 41be001c 4b7f6e79

This patch fixes it by preparing complete lines in a buffer and
printing it at once.

v2: Using seq_buf and reworked the loop to avoid redundant prints.
