This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 446548dfdf62f1c5a749ac36b2ac311444d26892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 23:58:24 +0100 Subject: metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB 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()!
