STACK_TOP_MAX is aligned on a 32k boundary. When __bprm_mm_init() creates an initial stack for a process, it does so using STACK_TOP_MAX as the end of the vma. A process's arguments and environment information are placed on the stack and then the stack is relocated and aligned on a page boundary. When using a 32 bit kernel with 64k pages, the relocated stack has the process's args erroneously stored in the middle of the stack. This means that processes receive no arguments or environment variables, preventing them from running correctly. Fix this by aligning TASK_SIZE on a page boundary.
