21 *#* Estratto il monitor degli stack da proc.c in due file a parte: monitor.c/h
22 *#* Rinominata monitor_debug_stacks in monitor_report

35 * Start the kernel monitor. It is a special process which checks every second the stacks of the
36 * running processes trying to detect stack overflows.
38 * \param stacksize Size of stack in chars
39 * \param stack Pointer to the stack that will be used by the monitor
41 * \note The stack is provided by the caller so that there is no wasted space if the monitor
44 void monitor_start(size_t stacksize, cpustack_t *stack);
48 * Manually check if a given stack has overflown. This is used to check for stacks
49 * of processes handled externally form the kernel, or for other stacks (for instance
50 * the interrupt supervisor stack).
52 * \note For this function to work, the stack must have been filled at startup with
53 * CONFIG_KERN_STACKFILLCODE.
