[PATCH v2 6/6] x86/stacktrace: orc, mark it as reliable

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 10:07:07 EST


In SUSE, we need a reliable stack unwinder for kernel live patching, but
we do not want to enable frame pointers for performance reasons. So
after the previous patches to make the ORC reliable, mark ORC as a
reliable stack unwinder on x86.
