Current code has an explicit check for hitting the task stack guard; but overflowing any of the other stacks will get you a non-descript general #DF warning. Improve matters by using get_stack_info_noinstr() to detetrmine if and which stack guard page got hit, enabling a better stack warning. In specific, Michael Wang reported what turned out to be an NMI exception stack overflow, which is now clearly reported as such: [] BUG: NMI stack guard page was hit at 0000000085fd977b (stack is 000000003a55b09e..00000000d8cce1a5) Reported-by: Michael Wang <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Tested-by: Michael Wang <[email protected]> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YUTE/[email protected]
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
