[ Upstream commit 236f9fe39b02c15fa5530b53e9cca48354394389 ]
The threads allocated inside the kernel have only a single page of stack. Unfortunately, the vfprintf function in standard glibc may use too much stack-space, overflowing it.
To make os_info safe to be used by helper threads, use the kernel vscnprintf function into a smallish buffer and write out the information to stderr.
