4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 854236363370995a609a10b03e35fd3dc5e9e4a1 upstream. Since commit 81a76d7119f6 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when cp0_status & ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels where user and kernel address spaces overlap. However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths. This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer depending on the previous stack content. show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure we get a useful backtrace.
