Note, when CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACE is set, there's already a bit of overhead :-) Anyway, I'll have to take a look at how the frame pointer is set up. Or we could also set up all stacks coming into the kernel to have a "dummy" frame pointer that wont hurt anything if we index into it. Anyway, I'm off till the new year, so I'll worry about it then ;-)
Right, might be simpler to just make them loop back onto themselves or something like that. I can have a look too if I get a chance. Cheers, Ben.
