SubjectRe: [PATCH 8/9] x86/dumpstack: Save first regs set for the executive summary

How about we remove that check altogether?

I mean, __copy_from_user_inatomic() by way of probe_kernel_read() should
be able to handle every address.

And if it doesn't, it says so:

if (probe_kernel_read(opcodes, ip, OPCODE_BUFSIZE)) {
pr_cont("Bad RIP value.\n");


And if we *can* print opcode bytes, why not do so? It is one more hint
when debugging, who knows, might prove useful...

Hmm?
