Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/15] sched/task_stack: Introduce ARCH_HAS_VARIABLE_STACK_SIZE
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 17:41:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928174122.3380703-13-smostafa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928174122.3380703-1-smostafa@google.com>
When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VARIABLE_STACK_SIZE is enabled, the kernel stack
may not be fully populated with the THREAD_SIZE virtual area.
Teach task_stack_size() to return the size of the vm area and not a
fixed size.
This propagates to end_of_stack() which makes functions like
stack_not_used() and set_task_stack_end_magic() to use the lowest
valid stack address instead of THREAD_SIZE which would cause data
aborts.
