I've built a "con tutto" 2.1.106 kernel with all config options that would
compile turned on and ran the stack checker script that was posted to the list
about a year ago. I'd post detailed results, but I forgot them at home. The
bottom line is: there is only a handful of functions that really need a lot
of stack (more than 256 bytes), and only two or three really awful cases
that allocate a 2000 byte array on the stack. Does anyone else think it
would be worthwhile to fix those and reduce the kernel stack size again?
I have a patch that makes the stack size configurable (I've even tested it...)
which I could provide if someone is interested.
