Subject[PATCH] x86/show_trace_log_lvl: ensure stack pointer is aligned, again
From: Vernon Lovejoy <vlovejoy@redhat.com>

The commit e335bb51cc15 ("x86/unwind: Ensure stack pointer is aligned")
tried to align the stack pointer in show_trace_log_lvl(), otherwise the
"stack < stack_info.end" check can't guarantee that the last read does
not go past the end of the stack.

However, we have the same problem with the initial value of the stack
pointer, it can also be unaligned. So without this patch this trivial
kernel module

#include <linux/module.h>

static int init(void)
{
asm volatile("sub $0x4,%rsp");
dump_stack();
asm volatile("add $0x4,%rsp");

return -EAGAIN;
}

module_init(init);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

crashes the kernel.
