When a panic() occurs due to a stuck thread, we'll try to dump a backtrace of this thread if the config directive USE_BACKTRACE is set (which is the case on linux+glibc). For this we use the backtrace() call provided by glibc and iterate the pointers through resolve_sym_name(). In order to minimize the output (which is limited to one buffer), we only do this for stuck threads, and we start the dump above ha_panic()/ha_thread_dump_all_to_trash(), and stop when meeting known points such as main/run_tasks_from_list/run_poll_loop. If enabled without USE_DL, the dump will be complete with no details except that pointers will all be given relative to main, which is still better than nothing. The new USE_BACKTRACE config option is enabled by default on glibc since it has been present for ages. When it is set, the export-dynamic linker option is enabled so that all non-static symbols are properly resolved.
