Andrey Ryabinin 0a373d4fc2 x86/unwinder/guess: Prevent using CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y with CONFIG_STACKDEPOT=y
Stackdepot doesn't work well with CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y.
The 'guess' unwinder generate awfully large and inaccurate stacktraces,
thus stackdepot can't deduplicate stacktraces because they all look like
unique. Eventually stackdepot reaches its capacity limit:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 545 at lib/stackdepot.c:119 depot_save_stack+0x28e/0x550
  Call Trace:
   ? kasan_kmalloc+0x144/0x160
   ? depot_save_stack+0x1f5/0x550
   ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0
   ? preempt_count_sub+0x13/0xc0

  <...90 lines...>

   ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0

Add a STACKDEPOT=n dependency to UNWINDER_GUESS to avoid the problem.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
