[PATCH] x86-64: fix stack bounds checking in get_wchan

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Thu Dec 05 2013 - 08:40:25 EST


This patch fixes potential oops on unwinding volatile stack. get_wchan() is
lockless, task may wake up at any time and override any frame under us.
Stackframe is 16 bytes long plus it's supposed to be 64bit aligned.
