| |
From: Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@axis.com>
This comment describes the behaviour before commit 2a820bf74918 ("tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently"). Since that commit, interrupts and NMIs do use the per-cpu stacks so the comment is no longer correct. Remove it.
(Note that the FTRACE_STACK_SIZE mentioned in the comment has never existed, it probably should have said FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES.)
