abrt files a lot of bug reports when users get GPU lockups, but there's not really
enough context to do anything useful with them.  Given the lack of GPU context being
dumped, this patch removes the stack trace, so that abrt ignores the messages.

At the risk of sounding obvious, wouldn't it be better to enhance the 
driver to dump out more useful debugging info in this case rather than 
just suppressing the ABRT report?

In theory yes, in practice that is non-trivial. The amount of data you 
need to keep track off is in the MBs, it can range from any previous GPU 
command stream sent to the GPU, to the contents of any of the vertex 
buffers etc.

the problem with GPU lockups is you don't notice them until after you've 
queued up a tonne more stuff since they are such deep pipelines.

Dave.
