store_stackinfo() does an unlocked module list walk during normal runtime
which opens up a race with the module load/unload code. This can be
triggered by simply unloading and loading a module in a loop with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC resulting in store_stackinfo() tripping over bad
list pointers.

Hmmm...
You can't move kernel_text_address into module.c, since it isn't
compiled for CONFIG_MODULES=n.
I don't really like debug code messing with this, but you might be right
about changing it to __kernel_text_address().

Good point, how about if i make modlist_lock a global?

I keep fighting to keep it static 8)
How's this:
Name: Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Status: Compiled on 2.6.7

store_stackinfo() does an unlocked module list walk during normal runtime
which opens up a race with the module load/unload code. This can be
triggered by simply unloading and loading a module in a loop with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC resulting in store_stackinfo() tripping over bad
list pointers.
kernel_text_address doesn't take any locks, because during an OOPS we
don't want to deadlock. Rename that to __kernel_text_address, and
make kernel_text_address take the lock.
