Subject: unwind: Finish up unwind when a task exits
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b3b9cb11aa034cfa9eb880bb9bb3d5aaf732e479;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

unwind: Finish up unwind when a task exits

On do_exit() when a task is exiting, if a unwind is requested and the
deferred user stacktrace is deferred via the task_work, the task_work
callback is called after exit_mm() is called in do_exit(). This means that
the user stack trace will not be retrieved and an empty stack is created.

Instead, add a function unwind_deferred_task_exit() and call it just
before exit_mm() so that the unwinder can call the requested callbacks
with the user space stack.
