Re: __builtin_return_address(0) and schedule()

Besides using built in gcc function, I suggest to use cscope and query 
the caller function.

If the caller function is not inlined, then IMHO  yes you can. If the 
caller is inlined, likely you will land into 2nd degree caller (if 
exist). CMIIW people
