sched: Fix __schedule_bug() output when called from an interrupt
If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug() will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule(). This is due to 838225b4 ("sched: use show_regs() to improve __schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current stack because it is being called from within an interrupt handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule(). [ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore(). It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ] Also-reported-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1332979847-27102-1-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
