    MIPS: show_stack: Fix stack trace with EVA · 1e77863a
    James Hogan authored
    The show_stack() function deals exclusively with kernel contexts, but if
    it gets called in user context with EVA enabled, show_stacktrace() will
    attempt to access the stack using EVA accesses, which will either read
    other user mapped data, or more likely cause an exception which will be
    handled by __get_user().
    
    This is easily reproduced using SysRq t to show all task states, which
    results in the following stack dump output:
    
     Stack : (Bad stack address)
    
    Fix by setting the current user access mode to kernel around the call to
    show_stacktrace(). This causes __get_user() to use normal loads to read
    the kernel stack.
    
    Now we get the correct output, like this:
    
     Stack : 00000000 80168960 00000000 004a0000 00000000 00000000 8060016c 1f3abd0c
