Thomas Gleixner e361362b08 x86/dumpstack/64: Don't evaluate exception stacks before setup
Cyrill reported the following crash:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000001ff0
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  RIP: 0010:get_stack_info+0xb3/0x148

It turns out that if the stack tracer is invoked before the exception stack
mappings are initialized in_exception_stack() can erroneously classify an
invalid address as an address inside of an exception stack:

    begin = this_cpu_read(cea_exception_stacks);  <- 0
    end = begin + sizeof(exception stacks);

i.e. any address between 0 and end will be considered as exception stack
address and the subsequent code will then try to derefence the resulting
stack frame at a non mapped address.

 end = begin + (unsigned long)ep->size;
     ==> end = 0x2000

 regs = (struct pt_regs *)end - 1;
     ==> regs = 0x2000 - sizeof(struct pt_regs *) = 0x1ff0

 info->next_sp   = (unsigned long *)regs->sp;
     ==> Crashes due to accessing 0x1ff0

Prevent this by checking the validity of the cea_exception_stack base
address and bailing out if it is zero.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
