[Xen-devel] [RFC Patch 1/2] x86/traps: Refactor show_trace()

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Before, show_trace() had two implementations depending on
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  Some parts were common, while the loops to wander up
the stack were different.

The version aided by frame pointers had a special case for function calls on
wild function pointers, but this doesn't need to be a special case.

After the refactoring, there are now two implementations of __show_trace()
which differ depending on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, and a single show_trace()
with the common bits, including the logic for wild function pointers.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>

The new wild pointer logic is rather larger than its pre-refactor version, but
is rather more legible.  I cant think of a way to compact it without making it
substantially less legible.
