[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V6 1/6] oslib-posix: add helpers for stack alloc and free

[Peter Lieven]

the allocated stack will be adjusted to the minimum supported stack size
by the OS and rounded up to be a multiple of the system pagesize.
Additionally an architecture dependent guard page is added to the stack
to catch stack overflows. The memory for the guard page is deductated from
stack memory so that the usable stack size is effectively reduced by the size
of one page. This is equivalent to how the glibc stack allocation routines
behave.
