Hi again,
This patch is different (probably better?), but touches all users and
all architectures implementing stacktrace saving. If you want it, it's
here... :-)
Kind regards,
Vegard Nossum

Subject: [PATCH] stacktrace: add reliability information to saved stack traces
This will make print_stack_trace() behave more like dump_stack() by saving
"unreliable" trace entries and displaying them as such by prepending a
question mark in front of the function name.
NOTE: This patch has been compile- and run-tested on x86 platform (which is
the only platform supporting unreliable trace entries). No testing has been
carried out for the other platforms. End of note.
