The patch titled
i386: remove multi-entry backtraces
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
lockdep-one-stacktrace-column-if-config_lockdep=y-fix.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: i386: remove multi-entry backtraces
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Remove CONFIG_STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS.
This feature didnt work out: instead of making kernel debugging more
efficient, it produces much harder to read stacktraces! Check out this
trace for example:
http://static.flickr.com/47/158326090_35d0129147_b_d.jpg
That backtrace could have been printed much nicer as a
one-entry-per-line thing, taking the same amount of screen real-estate.
Plus we remove 30 lines of kernel code as well.
