Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/7] disable check for buggy brk implementations when
SafeStack is enabled
The check relies on comparing the addresses of stack-allocated objects
to addresses returned by the brk syscall. Segmentation-hardened
SafeStack moves the allocations to heap locations, breaking the check.
This patch disables the check when segmentation-hardened SafeStack is
enabled.
