Sebastian Andrzej Siewior d81bdb3c17 ARM: 8840/1: use a raw_spinlock_t in unwind
[ Upstream commit 74ffe79ae5 ]

Mostly unwind is done with irqs enabled however SLUB may call it with
irqs disabled while creating a new SLUB cache.

I had system freeze while loading a module which called
kmem_cache_create() on init. That means SLUB's __slab_alloc() disabled
interrupts and then

->new_slab_objects()
 ->new_slab()
  ->setup_object()
   ->setup_object_debug()
    ->init_tracking()
     ->set_track()
      ->save_stack_trace()
       ->save_stack_trace_tsk()
        ->walk_stackframe()
         ->unwind_frame()
          ->unwind_find_idx()
           =>spin_lock_irqsave(&unwind_lock);

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
