[PATCH v4 50/57] x86/unwind: warn on bad stack return address
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Aug 18 2016 - 09:11:42 EST
If __kernel_text_address() doesn't recognize a return address on the
stack, it probably means that it's some generated code which
__kernel_text_address() doesn't know about yet.
Otherwise there's probably some stack corruption.
Either way, warn about it.
Use printk_deferred_once() because the unwinder can be called with the
console lock by lockdep via save_stack_trace().
