s390/unwind: make reuse_sp default when unwinding pt_regs
Currently unwinder yields 2 entries when pt_regs are met: sp="address of pt_regs itself" ip=pt_regs->psw sp=pt_regs->gprs[15] ip="r14 from stack frame pointed by pt_regs->gprs[15]" And neither of those 2 states (combination of sp and ip) ever happened. reuse_sp has been introduced by commit a1d863ac ("s390/unwind: fix mixing regs and sp"). reuse_sp=true makes unwinder keen to produce the following result, when pt_regs are given (as an arg to unwind_start): sp=pt_regs->gprs[15] ip=pt_regs->psw sp=pt_regs->gprs[15] ip="r14 from stack frame pointed by pt_regs->gprs[15]" The first state is an actual state in which a task was when pt_regs were collected. The second state is marked unreliable and is for debugging purposes to cover the case when a task has been interrupted in between stack frame allocation and writing back_chain - in this case r14 might show an actual caller. Make unwinder behaviour enabled via reuse_sp=true default and drop the special case handling. Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
