panic: print out stacktrace if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
if CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is set then the user most definitely wanted to see as much information about kernel crashes as possible - so give them at least a stack dump. this is particularly useful for stackprotector related panics, where the stacktrace can give us the exact location of the (attempted) attack. Pointed out by pageexec@freemail.hu in the stackprotector breakage threads. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
