[PATCH 1/2] arm64: Call __show_regs directly

[Mark Rutland]

Hi,

I see these patches are effectively a v2 of [1].

Please cite prior patch series when posting updates. The context really
helps review.

The above doesn't explain the problem clearly. How about:

  Generic code expects show_regs() to also dump the stack, but arm64's
  show_reg() does not do this. Some arm64 callers of show_regs() *only*
  want the registers dumped, without the stack.

  To enable generic code to work as expected, we need to make
  show_regs() dump the stack. Where we only want the registers dumped,
  we must use __show_regs().

  This patch updates code to use __show_regs() where only registers are
  desired. A subsequent patch will modify show_regs().

... with that:
