From 6dab27784b2a97823b522e1cb88e40be40a93d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:33:08 +0100 Subject: x86: add a simple backtrace test module During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace. Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even detect such bugs earlier..
