  • Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether
    a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because
    save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless
    to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and
    probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use
    save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.)

    This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace
    entries for saved stack traces.

  • Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but
    only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile
    the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace
    functions on the stack with bp based backtracing).

    This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer;
    sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack,
    but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

  • For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability
    for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either
    reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to
    print the unreliable ones slightly different.

    This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user
    of this capability.

  • Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
    are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
    them, as they add no real value.

    Additionally:
    - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
    - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
    - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
    git.
