Re: [PATCH v3] x86/show_trace_log_lvl: ensure stack pointer is aligned, again

[Oleg Nesterov]

Josh, this is boring.

We are changing this simple fix for the second time, precisely following
your recommendations. And for the second time, you mysteriously disappear
afterward.

Please tell us if you finally agree with this version or if you think we
should make changes again.

Thanks.
