Vlastimil Babka 77072f09ea x86/stacktrace: Avoid recording save_stack_trace() wrappers
The save_stack_trace() and save_stack_trace_tsk() wrappers of
__save_stack_trace() add themselves to the call stack, and thus appear in the
recorded stacktraces. This is redundant and wasteful when we have limited space
to record the useful part of the backtrace with e.g. page_owner functionality.

Fix this by making sure __save_stack_trace() is noinline (which matches the
current gcc decision) and bumping the skip in the wrappers
(save_stack_trace_tsk() only when called for the current task). This is similar
to what was done for arm in 3683f44c42 ("ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing
stacktrace functions in stacktrace") and is pending for arm64.

Also make sure that __save_stack_trace_reliable() doesn't get this problem in
the future by marking it __always_inline (which matches current gcc decision),
per Josh Poimboeuf.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
