The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures. Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver thread watchdog timers.

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.
