    tile: avoid recursive backtrace faults · 3ef23111
    Chris Metcalf authored
    This change adds support for avoiding recursive backtracer crashes;
    we haven't seen this in practice other than when things are seriously
    corrupt, but it may help avoid losing the root cause of a crash.
    
    Also, don't abort kernel backtracers for invalid userspace PC's.
    If we do, we lose the ability to backtrace through a userspace
    call to a bad address above PAGE_OFFSET, even though that it can
    be perfectly reasonable to continue the backtrace in such a case.
