[PATCH 1/2] trace: fix output of stack trace

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Dec 03 2008 - 11:06:37 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Impact: fix to output of stack trace

If a function is not found in the stack of the stack tracer, the
number printed is quite strange. This fixes the algorithm to handle
missing functions better.
