The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kallsyms: fix build without execinfo
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kallsyms-fix-build-without-execinfo.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Some libc's like musl libc don't provide execinfo.h since it's not part of
POSIX.  In order to fix compilation on musl, only include execinfo.h if
available (HAVE_BACKTRACE_SUPPORT)

This was discovered with c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol
length") which starts to include linux/kallsyms.h with Alpine Linux'
configs.
