[PATCH] Restrict stack space reservation to rlimit

From: Michael Neuling
Date: Sun Feb 07 2010 - 19:28:52 EST


When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not
attempting to allocate more than rlimit allows.

Also, reserve the same stack size independent of page size.

This fixes a bug cause by b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba
"mm: variable length argument support" and unmasked by
fc63cf237078c86214abcb2ee9926d8ad289da9b
"exec: setup_arg_pages() fails to return errors".
