The show_regs_safe() logic is wrong. When there's an iret stack frame,
it prints the entire pt_regs -- most of which is random stack data --
instead of just the five registers at the end.
show_regs_safe() is also poorly named: the on_stack() checks aren't for
safety. Rename the function to show_regs_if_on_stack() and add a
comment to explain why the checks are needed.
These issues were introduced with the "partial register dump" feature of
the following commit:
b02fcf9 ("x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully")
That patch had gone through a few iterations of development, and the
above issues were artifacts from a previous iteration of the patch where
'regs' pointed directly to the iret frame rather than to the (partially
empty) pt_regs.
