Subject: x86, 32-bit: fix kernel_trap_sp()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b6c6c77732ca1d2498eda7eabb64f9648896e96;p=linux.git

x86, 32-bit: fix kernel_trap_sp()

Use &regs->sp instead of regs for getting the top of stack in kernel mode.
(on x86-64, regs->sp always points the top of stack)

[ Impact: Oprofile decodes only stack for backtracing on i386 ]
