proc: add /proc/*/stack
/proc/*/stack adds the ability to query a task's stack trace. It is more useful than /proc/*/wchan as it provides full stack trace instead of single depth. Example output: $ cat /proc/self/stack [<c010a271>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x17/0x35 [<c01827b4>] proc_pid_stack+0x4a/0x76 [<c018312d>] proc_single_show+0x4a/0x5e [<c016bdec>] seq_read+0xf3/0x29f [<c015a004>] vfs_read+0x6d/0x91 [<c015a0c1>] sys_read+0x3b/0x60 [<c0102eda>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff [add save_stack_trace_tsk() on mips, ACK Ralf --adobriyan] Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenchen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
