That is really frustrating. I did everything that you and ingo molnar

What is wrong with the "provide stack information for threads"? It is a

The only reason to fix and update the proc.txt was that you told me that
this is the last thing that you miss.

to get in the other.
Simple question: will you accept the thread stack info patch or not? If
yes, i will spent the time to split proc.txt patch.
