From 9a3dc3186fc3795e076a4122da9e0258651a9631 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dustin Brown Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 19:44:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8691/1: Export save_stack_trace_tsk() The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures. Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver thread watchdog timers.
