 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Optimized support for Intel "Cluster-on-Die" (CoD) topologies (Dave
     Hansen)

   - Various sched/idle refinements for better idle handling (Nicolas
     Pitre, Daniel Lezcano, Chuansheng Liu, Vincent Guittot)

   - sched/numa updates and optimizations (Rik van Riel)

   - sysbench speedup (Vincent Guittot)

   - capacity calculation cleanups/refactoring (Vincent Guittot)

   - Various cleanups to thread group iteration (Oleg Nesterov)

   - Double-rq-lock removal optimization and various refactorings
     (Kirill Tkhai)

   - various sched/deadline fixes

  ... and lots of other changes"

+	  This option checks for a stack overrun on calls to schedule().
+	  If the stack end location is found to be over written always panic as
+	  the content of the corrupted region can no longer be trusted.
