consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

Make extra checks for space available on stack in some
|

critical functions. This will cause kernel to run a bit slower,

but will catch most of kernel stack overruns and exit gracefully.

Say Y if you are unsure.
