> overflow into adjacent allocations (fixed by VMAP_STACK).

99% fixed, but it's possible to skip over the guard page without
-fstack-check enabled (plus some edge cases need to be fixed in GCC),
unless VLAs were forbidden in addition to the existing large frame size
warning.

I'm not sure about in-tree code, but Qualcomm had some of these
improperly bounded VLA vulnerabilities in their MSM kernel...
