Currently stack unwinder is a while(1) loop which relies on the dwarf unwinder to signal termination, which in turn relies on dwarf info to do so. This in theory could cause an infinite loop if the dwarf info was somehow messed up or the register contents were etc. This fix thus detects the excessive looping and breaks the loop. | Mem: 26184K used, 1009136K free, 0K shrd, 0K buff, 14416K cached | CPU: 0.0% usr 72.8% sys 0.0% nic 27.1% idle 0.0% io 0.0% irq 0.0% sirq | Load average: 4.33 2.60 1.11 2/74 139 | PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %VSZ CPU %CPU COMMAND | 133 2 root SWN 0 0.0 3 22.9 [rcu_torture_rea] | 132 2 root SWN 0 0.0 0 22.0 [rcu_torture_rea] | 131 2 root SWN 0 0.0 3 21.5 [rcu_torture_rea] | 126 2 root RW 0 0.0 2 5.4 [rcu_torture_wri] | 129 2 root SWN 0 0.0 0 0.2 [rcu_torture_fak] | 137 2 root SW 0 0.0 0 0.2 [rcu_torture_cbf] | 127 2 root SWN 0 0.0 0 0.1 [rcu_torture_fak] | 138 115 root R 1464 0.1 2 0.1 top | 130 2 root SWN 0 0.0 0 0.1 [rcu_torture_fak] | 128 2 root SWN 0 0.0 0 0.1 [rcu_torture_fak] | 115 1 root S 1472 0.1 1 0.0 -/bin/sh | 104 1 root S 1464 0.1 0 0.0 inetd | 1 0 root S 1456 0.1 2 0.0 init | 78 1 root S 1456 0.1 0 0.0 syslogd -O /var/log/messages | 134 2 root SW 0 0.0 2 0.0 [rcu_torture_sta] | 10 2 root IW 0 0.0 1 0.0 [rcu_preempt] | 88 2 root IW 0 0.0 1 0.0 [kworker/1:1-eve] | 66 2 root IW 0 0.0 2 0.0 [kworker/2:2-eve] | 39 2 root IW 0 0.0 2 0.0 [kworker/2:1-eve] | unwinder looping too long, aborting !

README
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.
