Subject[RFC GIT PULL] x86 entry / perf stacktrace changes
Date
Ingo,

Please pull the perf/stacktrace branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
perf/stacktrace

Or may be not yet. It's still in RFC because I would like
to ensure I did not break cfi annotations. I hope Jan beulich
or others can have a look.

Sorry to mess up irq entry and perf stacktrace changes in the same
topic. But the changes happen to be very interconnected.

Several cleanups, fixes and optimizations for the x86-64
stacktraces and irq entry.

Last patch seems to add a bit of overhead in the irq entry
(one more "push") but given the changes made in previous
patches, the end result is a more optimized and more clear irq
entry.

Thanks,
Frederic
