Could someone please test it on parisc? err, I'm not sure what one needs to do to test it, actually. Presumably it involves setting an unusual `ulimit -s'. Can someone please suggest a test plan? From: Michael Neuling <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxx> When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not attempting to expand the stack by more than rlimit allows. This fixes a bug caused by b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba ("mm: variable length argument support") and unmasked by fc63cf237078c86214abcb2ee9926d8ad289da9b ("exec: setup_arg_pages() fails to return errors"). This bug means that when limiting the stack to less the 20*PAGE_SIZE (eg. 80K on 4K pages or 'ulimit -s 79') all processes will be killed before they start. This is particularly bad with 64K pages, where a ulimit below 1280K will kill every process.
