Commit Message

Mark Rutland June 13, 2016, 10:15 a.m. UTC
Currently dump_mem attempts to dump memory in 64-bit chunks when
reporting a failure in 64-bit code, or 32-bit chunks when reporting a
failure in 32-bit code. We added code to handle these two cases
separately in commit e147ae6d7f908412 ("arm64: modify the dump mem for
64 bit addresses").

However, in all cases dump_mem is called, the failing context is a
kernel rather than user context. Additionally dump_mem is assumed to
only be used for kernel contexts, as internally it switches to
KERNEL_DS, and its callers pass kernel stack bounds.

This patch removes the redundant 32-bit chunk logic and associated
compat parameter, largely reverting the aforementioned commit. For the
call in __die(), the check of in_interrupt() is removed also, as __die()
is only called in response to faults from the kernel's exception level,
and thus the !user_mode(regs) check is sufficient. Were this not the
case, the used of task_stack_page(tsk) to generate the stack bounds
would be erroneous.
