Subject: x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in kprobes.c
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=98272ed0d2e6509fe7dc571e77956c99bf653bb6;p=linux-beck.git

x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in kprobes.c

The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
actual previous stack frame.  For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.
