Subject: [PATCH] [1/2] x86_64: Fix backtracing for interrupt stacks


Readd backlink for old style unwinder to stack switching.
Add proper stack frame and CFI annotations to call_softirq

This prevents a oops when backtracing with fallback through
the interrupt stack top.

Suggested by Jan Beulich and Herbert Xu wanted it in 2.6.18.
