[PATCH 3/3] tracing: Update stack trace skipping for ORC unwinder

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Jan 23 2018 - 13:39:29 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

With the addition of ORC unwinder and FRAME POINTER unwinder, the stack
trace skipping requirements have changed.

I went through the tracing stack trace dumps with ORC and with frame
pointers and recalculated the proper values.
