Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 07/17] tracing: Remove outdated comment in stack handling
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2020 16:57:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200804205812.917542970@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200804205743.419135730@goodmis.org

From: Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@axis.com>

This comment describes the behaviour before commit 2a820bf74918
("tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently").  Since
that commit, interrupts and NMIs do use the per-cpu stacks so the
comment is no longer correct.  Remove it.

(Note that the FTRACE_STACK_SIZE mentioned in the comment has never
existed, it probably should have said FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES.)
