Subject: [PATCH] stacktrace: add saved stack traces to backtrace self-test

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@...il.com>
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:26:44 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] stacktrace: add saved stack traces to backtrace self-test

This patch adds saved stack-traces to the backtrace suite of self-tests.

Note that we don't unconditionally enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE because not
all architectures may have it.
