Bottomley" , linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org, linux-metag@vger.kernel.org, John David Anglin , Jiri Slaby To: stable@vger.kernel.org Return-path: In-Reply-To: In-Reply-To: List-ID: From: James Hogan 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit d71f290b4e98a39f49f2595a13be3b4d5ce8e1f1 upstream. Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward (parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than 1GB. This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running "ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000): BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!
