[PATCH v2 4/8] x86/dumpstack: Pin the target stack when dumping it

Show all headers | View raw

Specifically, pin the stack in save_stack_trace_tsk() and
show_trace_log_lvl().

This will prevent a crash if the target task dies before or while
dumping its stack once we start freeing task stacks early.
