The max string length for a histogram variable is 256 bytes. The max depth of a stacktrace is 16. With 8byte words, that's 16 * 8 = 128. Which can easily fit in the string variable. The histogram stacktrace is being stored in the string value (with the given max length), with the assumption it will fit. To make sure that this is always the case (in the case that the stack trace depth increases), add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to test this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
