hmm, the conversion that you probably mean is:

22:26 < ukleinek> hmm, 9c0729dc8062bed96189bd14ac6d4920f3958743 is the first bad commit
22:26 < tglx> lol
22:26 * ukleinek goes to bed
22:27 < ukleinek> then it can only be about include/linux/stacktrace.h
22:27 * ukleinek goes to bed anyhow
22:28 < rostedt> ukleinek: btw, you could do the bisect automated with ktest.pl :-)
22:30 < tglx> ukleinek: right, a change to include/linux/stacktrace.h which is x86 specific
22:33 < tglx> makes arm explode
22:33 < tglx> rotfl

I admit I didn't look what was changed there and I understood your
statement as "the change to include/linux/stacktrace.h was x86 specific
and so broke ARM".

I will look into it again after lunch.

OK, will do.
