x86: fix kernel panic on 32 bits when profiling
Latest kernel has a kernel panic in booting on i386 machine when profile=2 setting in cmdline. It is due to 'sp' being incorrect in profile_pc(). BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000246 IP: [<c01288b6>] profile_pc+0x2a/0x48 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP This differs from the original version by Alex Shi in that we use the kernel_stack_pointer() inline already defined in <asm/ptrace.h> for this purpose, instead of #ifdef.
