Function show_regs() is usually called in interrupt handler or exception handler, it prints the registers specified by the parameter 'regs', then dump the stack traces. Although not explicitly documented, dump the stack traces based on'regs' seems to make the most sense. Although dump_stack() can finally dump the desired content, because 'regs' are saved by the entry of current interrupt or exception. In the following example we can see: 1) The backtrace of interrupt or exception handler is not expected, it causes confusion. 2) Something is printed repeatedly. The line with the kernel version "CPU: 0 PID: 70 Comm: test0 Not tainted 5.19.0+ #8", the registers saved in "Exception stack" which 'regs' actually point to.
