[IA64] dump stack on kernel unaligned warnings
Often the cause of kernel unaligned access warnings is not obvious from just the ip displayed in the warning. This adds the option via proc to dump the stack in addition to the warning. The default is off (just display the 1 line warning). To enable the stack to be shown: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-dump-stack Signed-off-by: Doug Chapman <doug.chapman@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
