Subject: [RFC 1/2] vsprintf: introduce %pT format specifier

The %pT format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_trace() does symbol lookup using (offset-1) to ensure
the offset will not point outside of the function.

If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so messes up a call trace entry.
This patch will fix it.
