[PATCH urgent 2/2] x86/unwind: dump stack data on warnings

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri Dec 16 2016 - 11:06:00 EST


The unwinder warnings are good at finding unexpected unwinder issues,
but they often don't give enough data to be able to fully diagnose them.
Print a one-time stack dump when a warning is detected.
