DESCRIPTION         top

        Context functions provide additional information about where an
       event occurred. These functions can provide information such as a
       backtrace to where the event occurred and the current register
       values for the processor.

       print_backtrace
              Print kernel stack back trace

              See function::print_backtrace(3stap)
               for details.

       print_backtrace_fileline
              Print kernel stack back trace

              See function::print_backtrace_fileline(3stap)
               for details.

       sprint_backtrace
              Return stack back trace as string

              See function::sprint_backtrace(3stap)
               for details.

       backtrace
              Hex backtrace of current kernel stack

              See function::backtrace(3stap)
               for details.

       task_backtrace
              Hex backtrace of an arbitrary task

              See function::task_backtrace(3stap)
               for details.
