Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.
Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.
This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
End result looks like below:

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:
(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task
In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then
- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,
- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),
- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.
Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.
This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n, print_context_stack() shouldn't neglect the
non-reliable addresses on stack, this is all we have if dump_trace(bp)
is called with the wrong or zero bp.
For example, /proc/pid/stack doesn't work if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n.
This patch obviously has no effect if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y, otherwise
it reverts 1650743c "x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entries".
Also, remove the unnecessary type-cast.

arch/x86/include/asm/stacktrace.h and arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.h
declare headers of objects that deal with the same topic.
Actually most of the files that include stacktrace.h also include
dumpstack.h
Although dumpstack.h seems more reserved for internals of stack
traces, those are quite often needed to define specialized stack
trace operations. And perf event arch headers are going to need
access to such low level operations anyway. So don't continue to
bother with dumpstack.h as it's not anymore about isolated deep
internals.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.
But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we
can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying
the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides
to inline functions, etc.
Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I
expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

If we return -1 in the ops->stack for the stacktrace saving, we end up
breaking out of the loop if the stack we are tracing is in the exception
stack. This causes traces like:
<idle>-0 [002] 34263.745825: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__blk_complete_request
<idle>-0 [002] 34263.745826:
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0
By returning "0" instead, the irq stack is saved as well, and we see:
<idle>-0 [003] 883.280992: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__hrtimer_star
t_range_ns
<idle>-0 [003] 883.280992:
<= hrtimer_start_range_ns
<= tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
<= cpu_idle
<= start_secondary
<=
<= 0
<= 0

Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature
Usage example:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.
To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether
a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because
save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless
to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and
probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use
save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.)
This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace
entries for saved stack traces.

Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but
only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile
the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace
functions on the stack with bp based backtracing).
This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer;
sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack,
but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability
for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either
reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to
print the unreliable ones slightly different.
This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user
of this capability.

Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
them, as they add no real value.
Additionally:
- fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
- Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
- remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
git.
