Linus Torvalds 03fae44b41 With the new ORC unwinder, ftrace stack tracing became disfunctional.
One was that ORC didn't know how to handle the ftrace callbacks in general
 (which Josh fixed). The other was that ORC would just bail if it hit a
 dynamically allocated trampoline. Which means all ftrace stack tracing that
 happens from the function tracer would produce no results (that includes
 killing the max stack size tracer).  I added a check to the ORC unwinder to
 see if the trampoline belonged to ftrace, and if it did, use the orc entry
 of the static trampoline that was used to create the dynamic one (it would
 be identical).
 
 Finally, I noticed that the skip values of the stack tracing were out of
 whack. I went through and fixed them up.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
