From: Vegard Nossum Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:23:58 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entries X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc4~159^2~4 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1650743c;p=karo-tx-linux.git x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entries Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.) This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace entries for saved stack traces.
