James Hogan 8542363633 MIPS: Avoid accidental raw backtrace
Since commit 81a76d7119 ("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.

Fixes: 81a76d7119 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode")

README

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.
