Subject: [PATCH 0/2] RT: Enhance PREEMPT_TRACE with deeper stacks
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 08:14:08 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070810140745.12966.8464.stgit@lsg> (raw)

This series changes the PREEMPT-TRACE behavior for reporting critical
sections.  The previous code reported 2 frames per section.  The new code uses
the save_stack_trace facility to save an arbitrary number of frames (currently
set to 5 via a #define)

For what its worth, these patches assisted me with debugging some issues in
-rt.  The second patch is really a workaround for where X86_64 frame-pointers
apparently are not working under certain circumstances.
