[Xen-devel] [Patch v4 1/4] x86/stack: 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.

Changes in v4:
 * Single underscore on _show_trace()
 * Undo accidental removal of deference in the wild function pointer test
 * Correct the printing of the return address in the wild pointer case
