get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack, thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff. /proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1] But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack. This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer. Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).
