[PATCH 08/19] x86/dumpstack: don't disable preemption in show_stack_log_lvl() and dump_trace()

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Jul 21 2016 - 17:24:08 EST


show_stack_log_lvl() and dump_trace() are already preemption safe:

- If they're running in irq or exception context, preemption is already
disabled, and the percpu irq stack pointers can be trusted.

- If they're running with preemption enabled, they must be running on
the task stack anyway, so it doesn't matter if they're comparing the
stack pointer against the percpu irq stack pointer from this CPU or
another one: either way it won't match.
