From the code: "B stepping K8s sometimes report an truncated RIP for IRET exceptions returning to compat mode. Check for these here too." The code then proceeds to truncate the upper 32 bits of %rbp. This means that when do_page_fault() is finally called, its prologue, do_page_fault: push %rbp movl %rsp, %rbp will put the truncated base pointer on the stack. This means that the stack tracer will not be able to follow the base-pointer changes and will see all subsequent stack frames as unreliable. This patch changes the code to use a different register (%rcx) for the checking and leaves %rbp untouched.
