[PATCH v2 1/2] slub: Enable backtrace for create/delete points.

From: greearb
Date: Tue Jun 28 2011 - 20:48:23 EST


From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch attempts to grab a backtrace for the creation
and deletion points of the slub object. When a fault is
detected, we can then get a better idea of where the item
was deleted.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2: Fix compile when CONFIG_STACKTRACE is not enabled
(It is required for this particular feature.)
