[patch 015/104] parisc: fix kernel crash when unwinding auserspace process

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit 7a3f5134a8f5bd7fa38b5645eef05e8a4eb62951 upstream.

Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash
the kernel and as such enforce a DSO.
A simple testcase is available here:
        http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz

The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption()
crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries to
unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack().  Since the stack contains
userspace addresses, a try to unwind the stack is dangerous and useless
and leads to the crash.

The fix is trivial: For userspace processes
a) avoid to unwind the stack, and
b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names.

While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS
printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static.

An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=121805168830283&w=2

Compile and run-tested with a 64bit parisc kernel.
