    ARM: 8691/1: Export save_stack_trace_tsk() · 9a3dc318
    Dustin Brown authored
    The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that
    consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One
    can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads
    using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is
    not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms
    because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures.
    Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with
    x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver
    thread watchdog timers.
