Hi Christian, 

Would you please help to try the following fix? I don't have a powerpc32
machine for test...

Thanks, Zhong

I've just applied this to 3.7-rc7 and booted the machine. I don't know how 
to trigger this bug, so it might take a while until it happens again - or 
not, now with your patch applied.

It happened only 2 times so far, after ~8h and after ~20h:

Nov  5 13:28:20 alice kernel: [    0.000000] Linux version 3.7.0-rc4 
Nov  5 21:00:26 alice kernel: [27148.965634] BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!
Nov 26 21:53:43 alice kernel: [    0.000000] Linux version 3.7.0-rc7 
Nov 27 17:15:29 alice kernel: [69731.388717] BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!

Thanks,
Christian.

After 3 days of uptime with your patch applied (and "normal" usage, just 
as before) no such BUG message occured. So, from my point of view, feel
free to add:

Thanks!
Christian.

Thank you, Christian. 

I'll try to submit a patch for it.

The patch hasn't made it into mainline yet. Any chance that this will be 
included in 3.8?

Thanks,

I don't know...

FYI, it is already in the next of ppc tree 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/next

I guess it would get into 3.9, at least.

Hm, is there no chance to get this into 3.8? I've been running with this 
patch applied since 3.7-rc7 and it got rid of this 
"MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low" message. I've just upgraded to 3.8-rc5 
and it's still not in mainline :-\

Christian.
