The "bt -v" command prints incorrect stack-end address when the
"CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y" is enabled in kernel, the "bt -v"
command output shows that the value stored at 0xffff8dee0312c198
is 0xffffffffc076400a, however, the value stored actually at
0xffff8dee0312c198 is NULL(0x0000000000000000), the stack-end
address is incorrect.
Without the patch:
crash> bt -v
PID: 28642 TASK: ffff8dee0312c180 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "insmod"
possible stack overflow: ffff8dee0312c198: ffffffffc076400a != STACK_END_MAGIC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
crash> rd 0xffff8dee0312c198
ffff8dee0312c198: 0000000000000000 ........
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With the patch:
crash> bt -v
PID: 28642 TASK: ffff8dee0312c180 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "insmod"
possible stack overflow: ffff991340bc0000: ffffffffc076400a != STACK_END_MAGIC
crash> rd 0xffff991340bc0000
ffff991340bc0000: ffffffffc076400a .@v.....
