[PATCH 4.1 07/84] MIPS: show_stack: Fix stack trace with EVA

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1e77863a51698c4319587df34171bd823691a66a upstream.

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
           1f172cd8 8056f09c 7ff1e450 8014fc3c 00000001 806dd0b0 0000001d 00000002
