Hi, > > Kernel configuration has an option to "check for stack overflows" > under kernel hacking section. Is that what you are looking for ? > grep your .config for DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW > On examination, I found that this option only adds a check for stack overflow only at the time an IRQ occurs. But there is a lot more scope for stack overflow in scenarios other than IRQ. For instance, a function call sequence may become large enough, a function may allocate too much automatic variables etc. IS there a way to detect that?
