From c4d04be11f99cc9ce4e3801a5da235727db704a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:24:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Allow the max stack trace depth to be configured On my screen, when something crashes, I only have space for maybe 16 functions of the stack trace before the information above it scrolls off the screen. It's easy to hack the kernel to print out only that much, but it's harder to remember to do it. This introduces a config option for it so that I can keep the setting in my config.
