Subject: tracing: Use stack of calling function for stack tracer
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]>
commit 87889501d0adfae10e3b0f0e6f2d7536eed9ae84 upstream.
Use the stack of stack_trace_call() instead of check_stack() as
the test pointer for max stack size. It makes it a bit cleaner
and a little more accurate.
Adding stable, as a later fix depends on this patch.
