From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 187b96db5ca79423618dfa29a05c438c34f9e1f0 upstream. Normally, show_trace_log_lvl() scans the stack, looking for text addresses to print. In parallel, it unwinds the stack with unwind_next_frame(). If the stack address matches the pointer returned by unwind_get_return_address_ptr() for the current frame, the text address is printed normally without a question mark. Otherwise it's considered a breadcrumb (potentially from a previous call path) and it's printed with a question mark to indicate that the address is unreliable and typically can be ignored. Since the following commit: f1d9a2abff66 ("x86/unwind/orc: Don't skip the first frame for inactive tasks") ... for inactive tasks, show_trace_log_lvl() prints *only* unreliable addresses (prepended with '?'). That happens because, for the first frame of an inactive task, unwind_get_return_address_ptr() returns the wrong return address pointer: one word *below* the task stack pointer. show_trace_log_lvl() starts scanning at the stack pointer itself, so it never finds the first 'reliable' address, causing only guesses to being printed. The first frame of an inactive task isn't a normal stack frame. It's actually just an instance of 'struct inactive_task_frame' which is left behind by __switch_to_asm(). Now that this inactive frame is actually exposed to callers, fix unwind_get_return_address_ptr() to interpret it properly.
