  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

On x86-32, after decoding a frame pointer to get a regs address,
regs_size() dereferences the regs pointer when it checks regs->cs to see
if the regs are user mode.  This is dangerous because it's possible that
what looks like a decoded frame pointer is actually a corrupt value, and
we don't want the unwinder to make things worse.

Instead of calling regs_size() on an unsafe pointer, just assume they're
kernel regs to start with.  Later, once it's safe to access the regs, we
can do the user mode check and corresponding safety check for the
remaining two regs.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
