Sorry, I can't.

It's two commits, PROC_BLOCK_SIZE moving chunk is now unneeded, because
seqfiles are in use, grabbing tasklist_lock for protection from task
dissapearing is unneeded -- proc_single_show() pins task_struct, entry
is added only to tgid table.

So, here is final version:


commit 12bf5a00732a5f9512081291097d0e4a3224e8a3

proc: add /proc/*/stack

/proc/*/stack adds the ability to query a task's stack trace. It is more
useful than /proc/*/wchan as it provides full stack trace instead of single
depth. Example output:

$ cat /proc/self/stack
[<c010a271>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x17/0x35
[<c01827b4>] proc_pid_stack+0x4a/0x76
[<c018312d>] proc_single_show+0x4a/0x5e
[<c016bdec>] seq_read+0xf3/0x29f
[<c015a004>] vfs_read+0x6d/0x91
[<c015a0c1>] sys_read+0x3b/0x60
[<c0102eda>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
[<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
