Gee, seems I can't build a kernel and I can't read a diff - epic
fail. Sorry for wasting your time Steve I'll try to be more careful.
FTR This should have been
- sprint_symbol(str, stacktrace_entries[i]);
+ trace_sprint_symbol(str, stacktrace_entries[i]);
If you have the time to give me some brief pointers on how I should go
about testing this I'd love to test it before the next version. I know
very little about ftrace.
thanks,
Tobin.
