Hi,

this is probably RTFM (where is this manual?), but how did I get a
callchain on a uniprocessor
system where there are two functions that cannot be a part of it,
because they don't call anything ? (kfree_skbmem and __kmalloc). Also
at the end one function call is there twice.

Seems like stack corruption, but I did try to close others out with
spin_lock_bh. This part of the code is called from kernel traps and
softirq for ethernet RX.

See here (I changed call names):
