Subject: [PATCH v3] stacktrace: don't skip first entry on noncurrent tasks
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 08:25:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191030072545.19462-1-jslaby@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191029071944.17123-1-jslaby@suse.cz>

When doing cat /proc/<PID>/stack, the output is missing the first entry.
When the current code walks the stack starting in stack_trace_save_tsk,
it skips all scheduler functions (that's OK) plus one more function. But
this one function should be skipped only for the 'current' task as it is
stack_trace_save_tsk proper.

The original code (before the common infrastructure) skipped one
function only for the 'current' task -- see save_stack_trace_tsk before
3599fe12a125. So do so also in the new infrastructure now.

Fixes: 214d8ca6ee85 ("stacktrace: Provide common infrastructure")

Notes:
    [v2] add the same for the !ARCH_STACKWALK case
    
    [v3] fix build on !ARCH_STACKWALK
