[PATCH] [ARM] Fix stack alignment when processing backtraces

[Jason Gunthorpe]

The dumpstm helper within c_backtrace pushed 5 dwords onto the stack
causing the stack to become unaligned and then calls printk. This
causes memory corruption in the kernel which assumes AAPCS calling
convention.

Since this bit of asm doesn't use the standard prologue just add
another register to restore alignment.

In my case the kernel was hitting a WARN_ON during boot and then
reliably failed to start the compiled-in initramfs.

I'm inferring that the stack misalignment caused some kind of memory
corruption which wiped out the unpacked initramfs.

Saw with gcc 5.4.0 on a kirkwood armv5te
