[PATCH v6 4/4] kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Tue Nov 27 2018 - 12:39:04 EST


If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.

Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5: None
Changes in v4:
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo and .task for the master.
- Remove clearing out in kdb_stub for offline CPUs; it's now redundant.

Changes in v3:
- Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up new for v3.

Changes in v2: None
