[RESEND PATCH 2/2] ARC: rename 16KSTACKS to DEBUG_STACKS

From: Min-Hua Chen

Rename 16KSTACKS to DEBUG_STACKS.

arch/arc/Kconfig.debug says that the default stack size is 8KB
and it will become 16KB stack if 16KSTACKS is set.

However, the stack size is based on PAGE_SIZE, and it is
configurable by CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_16K or CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_4K.
When CONFIG_16KSTACKS=y:

PAGE_SHIFT==12 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (12 + 1)) = 8KB
PAGE_SHIFT==13 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (13 + 1)) = 16KB
PAGE_SHIFT==14 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (14 + 1)) = 32KB

We get correct 16KB stack only when PAGE_SHIFT is 13.

See arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/page.h:
/* PAGE_SHIFT determines the page size */
\#if defined(CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_16K)
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 14
\#elif defined(CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_4K)
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
\#else
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 13
\#endif

See arch/arc/include/asm/thread_info.h:
\#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKS
\#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 1
\#else
\#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 0
\#endif

\#define THREAD_SIZE (PAGE_SIZE << THREAD_SIZE_ORDER)
\#define THREAD_SHIFT (PAGE_SHIFT + THREAD_SIZE_ORDER)

To make CONFIG_16KSTACKS less confusing, rename it to DEBUG_STACKS
(as it is defined in Kconfig.debug) and modify the Kconfig
description. No functional changes intended.

This increases the resident kernel footprint and will cause less
threads to run on the system and also increase the pressure
on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations.
