Thanks! And apologies, my cross-compiler tricked me into thinking this
patch compiled without problems. It did, however. I've change the patch
slightly to deal with the needed casts:

diff --git a/arch/xtensa/include/asm/stacktrace.h b/arch/xtensa/include/asm/stacktrace.h
index fe06e8ed162b..a85e785a6288 100644
--- a/arch/xtensa/include/asm/stacktrace.h
+++ b/arch/xtensa/include/asm/stacktrace.h
@@ -19,14 +19,14 @@ struct stackframe {
 
 static __always_inline unsigned long *stack_pointer(struct task_struct *task)
 {
-	unsigned long *sp;
+	unsigned long sp;
 
 	if (!task || task == current)
-		__asm__ __volatile__ ("mov %0, a1\n" : "=a"(sp));
+		sp = current_stack_pointer;
 	else

+		sp = task->thread.sp;
 
-	return sp;

 }
 
 void walk_stackframe(unsigned long *sp,

Shall I send a v2, or just carry this fix in my tree?

Sorry for the glitch!
