fjpanag opened a new pull request, #7436:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/7436

   ## Summary
   
   When `CONFIG_ARMV7M_STACKCHECK` is enabled, the function 
`__stack_overflow_trap()` will be called in case of a stack overflow.
   
   The problem however is that this function will immediately cause an NMI, 
with no information preserved about the fact. You just see the system crash, 
but with no way of telling why.
   
   Here, a hard-coded breakpoint is inserted, so at least during a debugging 
session the developer can see the root cause of the crash.
   
   I was thinking of adding and/or some prints, but I am not sure if this would 
be appropriate.  
   There is a stack overflow, so better not call any other functions?
   
   ## Impact
   
   Improved debugging.
   
   ## Testing
   
   Tested a stack overflow on an STM32F4, using a JLink as a debugger.  
   Indeed the code stops within the trap, indicating the fact of the overflow.
