+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: only process negative stack offsets on stack traces
+
+Fixes endless back traces in cases where the compiler emits a stack
+pointer increase in a branch delay slot (probably for some form of
+function return).
+
+[ 3.475442] BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!
+[ 3.480070] turning off the locking correctness validator.
