[PATCH v2] stackdepot: Make max number of pools build-time configurable
From: Matt Fleming
Date: Fri Jul 04 2025 - 08:09:17 EST
From: Matt Fleming <mfleming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We're hitting the WARN in depot_init_pool() about reaching the stack
depot limit because we have long stacks that don't dedup very well.
Introduce a new config to allow users to set the number of maximum stack
depot pools at build time. Also, turn the silent capping into a
build-time assert to provide more obvious feedback when users set this
value too high.

Changes in v2:
- Replace BUILD_BUG_ON with static_assert()
- Hide STACKDEPOT_MAX_POOLS behind EXPERT
