Subject: [PATCH] stacktrace: Move documentation for arch_stack_walk_reliable() to header
Date: Tue,  9 Mar 2021 19:41:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210309194125.652-1-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)

Currently arch_stack_wallk_reliable() is documented with an identical
comment in both x86 and S/390 implementations which is a bit redundant.
Move this to the header and convert to kerneldoc while we're at it.
