Andy Lutomirski 33a2f1a6c4 x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() support for the SYSENTER stack
get_stack_info() doesn't currently know about the SYSENTER stack, so
unwinding will fail if we entered the kernel on the SYSENTER stack
and haven't fully switched off.  Teach get_stack_info() about the
SYSENTER stack.

With future patches applied that run part of the entry code on the
SYSENTER stack and introduce an intentional BUG(), I would get:

  PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  ...
  RIP: 0010:do_error_trap+0x33/0x1c0
  ...
  Call Trace:
  Code: ...

With this patch, I get:

  PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  ...
  Call Trace:
   <SYSENTER>
   ? async_page_fault+0x36/0x60
   ? invalid_op+0x22/0x40
   ? async_page_fault+0x36/0x60
   ? sync_regs+0x3c/0x40
   ? sync_regs+0x2e/0x40
   ? error_entry+0x6c/0xd0
   ? async_page_fault+0x36/0x60
   </SYSENTER>
  Code: ...

which is a lot more informative.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
