Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v2 2/4] support SafeStack in init and threading

* LeMay, Michael <michael.lemay@...el.com> [2016-10-28 20:00:24 +0000]:

in general i'd avoid using ifdefs if possible (e.g. have
the function calls there unconditionally just make them
dummy when there is no safe stack), but i don't know how
to deal with the attribute: can't you whitelist this file
in the makefile so it's not instrumented?

some musl controlled macro should be used here
(LONG_MAX or whatever).

note that PAGE_SIZE is not compile time constant expression
on some targets see internal/libc.h (but on x86 this should
work).

and i'd use char type.

can this file be whitelisted to remain uninstrumented?

is there an alignment requirement for this pointer?

this may have significant startup overhead because determining
the main stack size is not optimized.

i dont see why this is needed.
