From 29d6455178a09e1dc340380c582b13356227e8df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2016 11:55:07 +0200 Subject: sched: panic on corrupted stack end Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info). Just panic directly.
