Subject: [PATCH] lib: stackinit: Adjust target string to 8 bytes for m68k

For reasons I cannot understand, m68k moves the start of the stack frame
for consecutive calls to the same function if the function's test
variable is larger than 8 bytes. This was only happening for the char
array test (obviously), so adjust the length of the string for m68k
only. I want the array size to be longer than "unsigned long" for every
given architecture, so the other remain unchanged.

Additionally adjust the error message to be a bit more clear about
what's happened, and move the KUNIT check outside of the consecutive
calls to minimize what happens between them.

It's called optimisation.

Hmm, guess I misunderstood the other e-mail.

Anyway, it works. After re-enabling the m68k tests:

I'll also run it through qemu for other architectures to be sure that there
is no negative impact.

Thanks,

Do reports have an expiration date? ;-)

Finally all parts of this test are passing on m68k, great!
