Subject: [PATCH 26/51] fork: allow arch-override of VMAP stack alignment
Git-commit: 48ac3c18cc62d4a23d5dc5c59f8720589d0de14b
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1
References: bsc#1068032
In some cases, an architecture might wish its stacks to be aligned to a
boundary larger than THREAD_SIZE. For example, using an alignment of
double THREAD_SIZE can allow for stack overflows smaller than
THREAD_SIZE to be detected by checking a single bit of the stack
pointer.
This patch allows architectures to override the alignment of VMAP'd
stacks, by defining THREAD_ALIGN. Where not defined, this defaults to
THREAD_SIZE, as is the case today.
