From 48ac3c18cc62d4a23d5dc5c59f8720589d0de14b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:23:09 +0100 Subject: fork: allow arch-override of VMAP stack alignment 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.
