The entire series looks good to me.

I reviewed carefully only the 5th patch touching printk/kallsyms/module
code. I just scanned over the other patches touching kernel code
and did not notice any obvious problem. I did not check the changes
in decode_stacktrace.sh at all.

I tried to get stacktraces on x86_64 and it worked as expected.
