The patch titled lockdep: i386 remove multi entry backtraces has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-i386-remove-multi-entry-backtraces.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lockdep: 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.
