Merge branch 'core/stacktrace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'core/stacktrace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  generic-ipi: powerpc/generic-ipi tree build failure
  stacktrace: fix build failure on sparc64
  stacktrace: export save_stack_trace[_tsk]
  stacktrace: fix modular build, export print_stack_trace and save_stack_trace
  backtrace: replace timer with tasklet + completions
  stacktrace: add saved stack traces to backtrace self-test
  stacktrace: print_stack_trace() cleanup
  debugging: make stacktrace independent from DEBUG_KERNEL
  stacktrace: don't crash on invalid stack trace structs
