In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code:
...
if (!stack) {
unsigned long dummy;
stack = &dummy;
if (task && task != current)
stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp;
}
bp = stack_frame(task, regs);
/*
* Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the
* current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested
* exceptions
*/
tinfo = task_thread_info(task);
for (;;) {
char *id;
unsigned long *estack_end;
estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack,
&used, &id);
...
You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.
