Josh Poimboeuf a9cdbe72c4 x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps
The show_regs_safe() logic is wrong.  When there's an iret stack frame,
it prints the entire pt_regs -- most of which is random stack data --
instead of just the five registers at the end.

show_regs_safe() is also poorly named: the on_stack() checks aren't for
safety.  Rename the function to show_regs_if_on_stack() and add a
comment to explain why the checks are needed.

These issues were introduced with the "partial register dump" feature of
the following commit:

  b02fcf9ba1 ("x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully")

That patch had gone through a few iterations of development, and the
above issues were artifacts from a previous iteration of the patch where
'regs' pointed directly to the iret frame rather than to the (partially
empty) pt_regs.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
