Currently arch_stack_wallk_reliable() is documented with an identical comment in both x86 and S/390 implementations which is a bit redundant. Move this to the header and convert to kerneldoc while we're at it. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <redacted> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.
