[PATCHv2 1/2] oprofile, x86: using struct stack_frame for 64bit processes dump

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Sep 29 2010 - 10:47:05 EST


Removing unnecessary struct frame_head and replacing it with
struct stack_frame.

The struct stack_frame is already defined and used in other places
in kernel, so there's no reason to define new structure.

wbr,
jirka
