metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB
commit d71f290b4e98a39f49f2595a13be3b4d5ce8e1f1 upstream.
Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward
(parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in
fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than
1GB.
This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased
beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running
"ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the
maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual
address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000):
BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!
