[PATCH 3.12 25/64] lkdtm: adjust recursion size to avoid warnings

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 7d196ac303652588c60350f0a581d71e2e7b1a50 upstream.

When CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is set low (e.g. some ARM builds), the hard-coded
stack buffer size used for kernel stack over run testing triggers build
warnings. Instead, avoid the warning by recalcuating the buffer size and
recursion count needed to trigger the test. Also uses the recursion counter
indirectly to avoid changing the parameter during the test.
