[ Upstream commit c2712b858187f5bcd7b042fe4daa3ba3a12635c0 ] Andy had some concerns about using regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() in a new function regs_get_kernel_argument() as if there's any error in the stack code, it could cause a bad memory access. To be on the safe side, call probe_kernel_read() on the stack address to be extra careful in accessing the memory. A helper function, regs_get_kernel_stack_nth_addr(), was added to just return the stack address (or NULL if not on the stack), that will be used to find the address (and could be used by other functions) and read the address with kernel_probe_read().

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.
