2008-01-30x86: add the capability to print fuzzy backtracesArjan van de Ven
For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to print the unreliable ones slightly different. This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user of this capability.

2008-01-30x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistencyH. Peter Anvin
We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-10-19x86: introduce frame_pointer() and stack_pointer()Jan Blunck
This patch defines frame_pointer() and stack_pointer() similar to the already defined instruction_pointer(). Thus the oprofile code can be written in a more readable fashion.

2007-10-19i386: make callgraph use dump_trace() on i386/x86_64Jan Blunck
This patch improves oprofile callgraphs for i386/x86_64. The old backtracing code was unable to produce kernel backtraces if the kernel wasn't compiled with framepointers. The code now uses dump_trace().
