Details

Summary

With stack gap enabled top of the stack is moved down by a random
amount of bytes. Because of that some multithreaded applications
which use kern.usrstack sysctl to calculate address of stacks for
their threads can fail. Add kern.stacktop sysctl, which can be used
to retrieve address of the stack after stack gap is applied to it.
Returns value identical to kern.usrstack for processes which have
no stack gap.

Hi, do you have any further comments or remarks? If there are no objections, I'm going to merge this patch by EOW.

sys/kern/kern_exec.c
137

Style: need spaces around binary op '|'. Ignore other examples in this file, do it right for added code.

199–223

Fix style while there: return (error);

237

The op ('-') should be on the previous line, before line split. Also, why not to do single cast, instead of two:

val = (unsigned)(p->p_sysent->sv_usrstack - p->p_vmspace->vm_stkgap);
246

return (error);

kib added inline comments.
sys/kern/kern_exec.c
213

There should be a blank line after local variable declaration.
