From: Eric Sandeen Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 12:00:05 +0000 (+0200) Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: (resend) x86_64 stack overflow debugging X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~612^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4961f10e2205d0ededa291e12ec634efc58aa93c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] x86_64: (resend) x86_64 stack overflow debugging Take two, now without spurious whitespace :( Applies to git & 2.6.17-rc6 CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW existed for x86_64 in 2.4, but seems to have gone AWOL in 2.6. I've pretty much just copied this over from the 2.4 code, with appropriate tweaks for the 2.6 kernel, plus a bugfix. I'd personally rather see it printed out the way other arches do it, i.e. bytes-remaining-until-overflow, rather than having to do the subtraction yourself. Also, only 128 bytes remaining seems awfully late to issue a warning. But I'll start here :) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug b/arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug index 0226f08be87..087a04868b2 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug +++ b/arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug @@ -35,6 +35,13 @@ config IOMMU_LEAK Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code.
