Subject[PATCH] x86/unwind_guess: Prevent using UNWINDER_GUESS=y with STACKDEPOT=y
Date
Stackdepot doesn't work well with CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y.
The 'guess' unwinder generate awfully large and inaccurate stacktraces,
thus stackdepot can't deduplicate stacktraces because they all look like
unique. Eventually stackdepot reaches its capacity limit:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 545 at lib/stackdepot.c:119 depot_save_stack+0x28e/0x550
Call Trace:
? kasan_kmalloc+0x144/0x160
? depot_save_stack+0x1f5/0x550
? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0
? preempt_count_sub+0x13/0xc0

<...90 lines...>

? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0

Add STACKDEPOT=n dependency to UNWINDER_GUESS to avoid the problem.
