The stacktraces always begin as follows:
[<c00117b4>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x98
[<c0011870>] save_stack_trace+0x24/0x28
...
This is because the stack trace code includes the stack frames for
itself. This is incorrect behaviour, and also leads to "skip" doing the
wrong thing (which is the number of stack frames to avoid recording.)
Perversely, it does the right thing when passed a non-current thread.
Fix this by ensuring that we have a known constant number of frames
above the main stack trace function, and always skip these.
This was fixed for arch arm by commit 3683f44c42 ("ARM: stacktrace:
avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktrace")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
