Subject[RFC][PATCH] x86_32: Return actual stack when requesting sp from regs
From
Date

As x86_32 traps do not save sp when taken in kernel mode, we need to
accommodate the sp when requesting to get the register.

This affects kprobes.

Before:

# echo 'p:ftrace sys_read+4 s=%sp' > /debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# cat trace
sshd-1345 [000] d... 489.117168: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=b7e96768
sshd-1345 [000] d... 489.117191: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=b7e96768

less-1448 [000] d... 489.118117: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=b7764970

After:
sshd-1352 [000] d... 362.348016: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f3febfa8
sshd-1352 [000] d... 362.348048: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f3febfa8
bash-1355 [001] d... 362.348081: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f5075fa8
sshd-1352 [000] d... 362.348082: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f3febfa8
sshd-1352 [000] d... 362.690950: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f3febfa8
bash-1355 [001] d... 362.691033: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=f5075fa8

[ I wonder if this should also go to stable? ]
