Its really just a comparison of the current stack pointer in relation to the current task_struct preformed in the do_IRQ function (so that it check stack depth on interrupts).
Alternative to this method, or the netdump method I mentioned earlier. If you have some idea of which function(s) you are likely to be executing when the stack overflows, you can also use -finstrument-functions as a finer grained approach to detecting the problem.
