    [PATCH] x86: fix oprofile kernel callgraph regression · 30379440

    Fix x86 oprofile regression introduced by:
      commit c34d1b4d
      [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable
    
    That commit reorganized tests for the userspace stack walking moving all
    those tests into dump_backtrace(), however, dump_backtrace() was used for
    both userspace and kernel stalk walking.  The result is typically no
    recorded callgraph information for kernel samples.
    
    Revive the original function as dump_kernel_backtrace() and rename the
    other to dump_user_backtrace() to avoid future confusion.
