[RFC] is CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE supported on STACK_GROWSUP arches ?

[Eric Dumazet]

Hi Kyle

I was wondering how following code could work on PARISC :

kernel/sched.c

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
       {
               unsigned long *n = end_of_stack(p);
               while (!*n)
                       n++;
               free = (unsigned long)n - (unsigned long)end_of_stack(p);
       }
#endif


I am trying to define a bytes_free_in_stack() function, and was about to 
code something like :

/*
* Only called in process context
*/
static inline unsigned long bytes_free_in_stack()
{
#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP
  unsigned long free = (unsigned long)end_of_stack(current) - (unsigned 
long)&free;
#else
  unsigned long free = (unsigned long)&free - (unsigned 
long)end_of_stack(current);
#endif
 return free;
}

but I realize it wont work on PARISC (and more generally on 
STACK_GROWSUP arches)

Thank you
Eric
