I found the following on patchwork, but this seems to deal with powerpc64

It looks related, but then again, I fail to parse assember...

Hi Christian,

Would you please help to try the following fix? I don't have a powerpc32
machine for test...

Thanks, Zhong

I've just applied this to 3.7-rc7 and booted the machine. I don't know how
to trigger this bug, so it might take a while until it happens again - or
not, now with your patch applied.

It happened only 2 times so far, after ~8h and after ~20h:

Nov 5 13:28:20 alice kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.7.0-rc4
Nov 5 21:00:26 alice kernel: [27148.965634] BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!
Nov 26 21:53:43 alice kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.7.0-rc7
Nov 27 17:15:29 alice kernel: [69731.388717] BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!

Thanks,
Christian.
