Subject[PATCH] locking/lockdep: Make MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES configurable
Date
A "BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!" error was hit when running a
networking test on a 4.11 kernel. So even 512k of stack trace entries
wasn't enough in this case.

Instead of hardcoding a larger MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES value,
it is now made to be dependent on a new kernel configuration entry
LOCKDEP_MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES so that kernel builders can configure
a proper value depending on how the kernel is being used.

The default for this new config option is the same as the current
value - 256k if LOCKDEP_SMALL and 512k otherwise.
