    tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktrace · 4b512860
    Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
    The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
    "stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
    use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
    as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
    convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
    kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
    "common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
    "common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
    event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".
    
    Also update the documentation to reflect this change.
