Thanks, I'll test this to make sure it doesn't break x86, and then push
it into a stable/-rc patch queue.

Hmm, I never saw the tip-bot reply :-(

I guess it only sends to the Cc tags.

We were in the commit Cc tags but somehow they didn't make it in the email
tags.

Here is the tip-bot email:

tracing/trace_stack: Fix stack trace on ppc64

save_stack_trace() stores the instruction pointer, not the
function descriptor. On ppc64 the trace stack code currently
dereferences the instruction pointer and shows 8 bytes of
instructions in our backtraces:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace

Since we aren't dealing with function descriptors, use %pS
instead of %pF to fix it:
