Subject: Re: [PATCH 7/7] arch: Fix STACKTRACE_SUPPORT

As mentioned on the last patch, it's not clear to me what the intended
semantic of save_stack_trace_tsk() is w.r.t. sched functions, as the
naive reading is that it should report *everything* a task may return
to.

If it's meant to skip sched functions, I think we need some explicit
documentation/commentary to that effect. In that case, there are other
architectures that need a fixup (e.g. arm64).

TBH, I don't think it *should* skip sched functions, and we should
filter out sched functions as required at a higher level, or deprecate
this interface in favour of arch_stack_walk() where it's easier to have
common filter functions invoked during the walk....

Thanks,
Mark.
