s390/dumpstack: fix call chain walking
dumpstack() did not always print a sane callchain when being called. The reason is that show_trace() accessed register 15 directly to get the current stack pointer and passed that pointer to __show_trace() which expects a valid stack frame pointer as argument. However due to tail call optimization the stack frame may not exist anymore when __show_trace() gets called and therefore an invalid stack frame pointer gets passed. To prevent that disable tail call optimization for call chain walking functions. So move all the show_* functions to a dumpstack.c file like other architectures have it already and add a -fno-optimize-sibling-calls compile flag to both dumpstack.c and stacktrace.c to prevent tail call optimization. Fixes callchains that looked e.g. like this: [ 12.868258] Call Trace: [ 12.868262] ([<0000000000008000>] 0x8000) Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
