Since commit81a76d7119("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when cp0_status & ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels where user and kernel address spaces overlap. However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths. This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer depending on the previous stack content. show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure we get a useful backtrace.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
