Subject: Re: [PATCH] update fix X86_64 procfs provide stack information for
 threads

Hi Andi,

what do you think about this? The following patch implements a more
accurate KSTK_ESP. The usersp of the task will be updated in the device
and apci_timer interrupt. It would be easy to change other interrupts
too. The performance penalty should tiny.

This works in my environment under load, but i have not the oversight if it work
