Subject: sched: Add default-disabled option to BUG() when stack end location is overwritten
X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.19/prcm-cleanup~94^2~27
X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d9e26329b0c9263d4d9e0422d80a0e73268c52f;p=pandora-kernel.git

sched: Add default-disabled option to BUG() when stack end location is overwritten

Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule()
does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is
often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted
region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined
and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be
handled.

This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate
action since the damage is already done, there is no point
in continuing.
