Subject: [PATCH] ARM: disable preempt when unwinding another task's stack
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 22:01:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mailman.124.1295456618.1530.linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org> (raw)

Since we don't want to expose the unwinder to a volatile stack, we
should make sure that we don't get preempted while doing the unwinding.
