Subject: [PATCH, BACKPORT] end-of-stack detection
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 19:51:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40058F99.2030207@colorfullife.com> (raw)
The oops dump code detects the end of the kernel stack with
(addr & (THREAD_SIZE-1))
This fails if the kernel stack is not 32-bit aligned. This can happen if
an APM bios call is interrupted and then causes an oops. The result is
an unreadable and incomplete oops dump. 2.6 contains a similar fix.
Marcelo, could you apply the patch to your tree?
