x86: Stop recursive fault in print_context_stack after stack overflow
After printing out the first line of a stack backtrace, print_context_stack() calls print_ftrace_graph_addr() to check if it's making a graph of function calls, usually not the case. But unfortunate ordering of assignments causes this to oops if an earlier stack overflow corrupted threadinfo->task. Reorder to avoid that irritation. ( The fact that there was a stack overflow may often be more interesting than the stack that can now be shown; but integrating that information with this stacktrace is awkward, so leave it to overflow reporting. ) Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120323225648.15DD5A033B@akpm.mtv.corp.google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
