    x86/dumpstack: Remove NULL task pointer convention · 81539169
    Josh Poimboeuf 提交于
    show_stack_log_lvl() and friends allow a NULL pointer for the
    task_struct to indicate the current task.  This creates confusion and
    can cause sneaky bugs.
    
    Instead require the caller to pass 'current' directly.
    
    This only changes the internal workings of the dumpstack code.  The
    dump_trace() and show_stack() interfaces still allow a NULL task
    pointer.  Those interfaces should also probably be fixed as well.
