Sorry for butting in... but isn't disabling STACKOVERFLOW the wrong
answer to this problem?
Does anyone see any reason why both sprint_symbol and __print_symbol
shouldn't use dynamically allocated buffers instead of wasting stack
space? *
I think the reason is that kmalloc can sleep, and those functions
may be called from code that can't sleep.
