Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing: Tracers that use CALLER_ADDR macros should select FRAME_POINTER
Date: Sat, 2 May 2009 04:14:25 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090502001425.GC9342@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090502001329.GA11549@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru>
Irqsoff, switch and preempt tracers use CALLER_ADDR macros, so they
should select FRAME_POINTER. Otherwise traces are meaningless.
