parisc: Make user stack size configurable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On parisc we need to initialize the memory layout for the user stack at
process start time to a fixed size, which up until now was limited to
the size as given by CONFIG_MAX_STACK_SIZE_MB at compile time.

This hard limit was too small and showed problems when compiling
ruby2.7, qmlcachegen and some Qt packages.

This patch changes two things:
a) It increases the default maximum stack size to 100MB.
b) Users can modify the stack hard limit size with ulimit and then newly
   forked processes will use the given stack size which can even be bigger
   than the default 100MB.

This is the maximum stack size in Megabytes in the VM layout of 32-bit

arch). The stack will be located at the highest memory address minus
the given value, unless the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is changed to a
smaller value in which case that is used.
