CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW: Check for stack overflows

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW has multiple definitions:

Check for stack overflows found in lib/Kconfig.debug

The configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW:

• prompt: Check for stack overflows
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL && CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
• defined in lib/Kconfig.debug
• found in Linux kernels: 3.11–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.11, 6.12-rc+HEAD

Help text

Say Y here if you want to check for overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks (if your architecture uses them). This option will show detailed messages if free stack space drops below a certain limit.

These kinds of bugs usually occur when call-chains in the kernel get too deep, especially when interrupts are involved.

Use this in cases where you see apparently random memory corruption, especially if it appears in 'struct thread_info'

If in doubt, say "N".

Check for kernel stack overflow found in arch/openrisc/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW:

• prompt: Check for kernel stack overflow
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/openrisc/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.1–3.10

Help text

Make extra checks for space available on stack in some critical functions. This will cause kernel to run a bit slower, but will catch most of kernel stack overruns and exit gracefully.

Say Y if you are unsure.
