From acc6be5405b90c9f0fb0eb8a74ec4d4b7b5bf48f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vegard Nossum Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 11:15:43 +0200 Subject: x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frame This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.
