Aaron Tomlin recently posted patches [1] to enable checking the stack canary on every task switch. Looking at the canary code, I realized that every arch (except ia64, which adds some space for register spill above the stack) shares a definition of end_of_stack() that makes it the first long after the threadinfo. For stacks that grow down, this low address is correct because the stack starts at the end of the thread area and grows toward lower addresses. However, for stacks that grow up, toward higher addresses, this is wrong. (The stack actually grows away from the canary.) On these archs end_of_stack() should return the address of the last long, at the highest possible address for the stack.
