I see. In that case, this patchset shouldn't change anything for tile as the generic dump_stack() is linked iff arch implementation doesn't exist. > Would it make sense for me to look at this after it's merged up into > -next and see what tile needs?

It'd be nice to get it inline with other archs but I don't think updating tile to print the common debug info is a priority, so no problem with dealing with it later. Thanks.
