From 29fe5f3bafb644c33269fb0f2a719d4809a07332 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:37:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] i386: Add kernel thread stack frame termination for properly stopping stack unwinds. One open question: Should this added push perhaps be made conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND or CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO?
