[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 023/146] x86: Increase exception stack sizes

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-11-09 01:01:06
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

[ Upstream commit 7fae4c24a2b84a66c7be399727aca11e7a888462 ]

It turns out that a single page of stack is trivial to overflow with
all the tracing gunk enabled. Raise the exception stacks to 2 pages,
which is still half the interrupt stacks, which are at 4 pages.
