Uwe Kleine-König 4bf1fa5a34 [ARM] 5613/1: implement CALLER_ADDRESSx
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
kernel needs its own implementation.

This fixes many warnings saying:

	warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'

The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
a bad idea.

What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables.  This
is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
information to be really useful.

Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
walk_stackframe uses unwind information.  So in this case the same
implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

Catalin Marinas 2d7c11bfc9 [ARM] 5382/1: unwind: Reorganise the stacktrace support
This patch changes the walk_stacktrace and its callers for easier
integration of stack unwinding. The arch/arm/kernel/stacktrace.h file is
also moved to arch/arm/include/asm/stacktrace.h.

Nicolas Pitre f76e915473 [ARM] latencytop support
Available for !SMP only at the moment.

From Russell:

|Basically, if a thread is running on a CPU, thread_saved_fp() is invalid.
|So, the question is: what guarantees do we have here that 'tsk' is not
|running on another CPU?

Russell King 5b10c8e436 [ARM] Fix stacktrace FP range checking
Fix an oops in the stacktrace code, caused by improper range checking.
We subtract 12 off 'fp' before testing to see if it's below the low
bound.  However, if 'fp' were zero before, it becomes a very large
positive number, causing this test to succeed where it should fail.

ab1b6f03a1 said

 - remove the unused task argument to save_stack_trace, it's always current

then broke arm:

Russell King f16fb1ecc5 [ARM] Add stacktrace support and make oprofile use it
Add support for stacktrace.  Use the new stacktrace code with
oprofile instead of it's version; there's no point having
multiple versions of stacktracing in the kernel.
