Subject[PATCH v2 -tip] x86: correct stack dump info when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
Date
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. A invalid entry could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point was
always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet.
So all of the entries were marked invalid.

This patch fixes this by unwinding the frame pointer up to desired
stack frame. End result looks like below.
