Question regarding MAX_ARG_STRLEN with execve()

[Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hello,

execve() system call should support argument length of
MAX_ARG_STRLEN (PAGE_SIZE * 32). On 64K page size systems, we
are not able to pass 32 * PAGE_SIZE arguments into the execve()
system call because of the following reasons.

* struct linux_binprm's vma starts with a size of PAGE_SIZE

	vma->vm_end = STACK_TOP_MAX;
	vma->vm_start = vma->vm_end - PAGE_SIZE;

* The VMA expands as much depending upon the argument size. So
  for 32 * PAGE_SIZE argument, it becomes 33 * PAGE_SIZE.

* 33 * PAGE_SIZE with 64K pages fails the following test in
  get_arg_page() function. 33 * PAGE_SIZE is more than 2MB
  (8 MB /4) with 64K page size.

   if (size > READ_ONCE(rlim[RLIMIT_STACK].rlim_cur) / 4)

* Right now RLIMIT_STACK is hard coded 8MB which does not take
  PAGE_SIZE into account. 

Wondering what should be the solution for this problem ?

* Change the default stack size from 8MB ?
* Change the ratio test from 1/4th ?

Thoughts ?
