When dumping a stack with 'cat /proc/#/stack' the kernel would oops.
For example:
# cat /proc/690/stack
Unable to handle kernel access
at virtual address 0x7fc60f58
Oops#: 0000
CPU #: 0

Process cat (pid: 702, stackpage=d79d6000)
Stack:
Call trace:

This was caused by the stack trace code in save_stack_trace_tsk using
the wrong stack pointer. It was using the user stack pointer instead of
the kernel stack pointer. Fix this by using the right stack.
Also for good measure we add try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to ensure
the task is not lost while we are walking it's stack.

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.
