[PATCH v4 12/29] x86/dumpstack: When dumping stack bytes due to OOPS, start with regs->sp

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Sun Jun 26 2016 - 17:57:44 EST


The comment suggests that show_stack(NULL, NULL) should backtrace
the current context, but the code doesn't match the comment. If
regs are given, start the "Stack:" hexdump at regs->sp.
