Christophe Leroy 3978eb7851 powerpc/32: Add early stack overflow detection with VMAP stack.
To avoid recursive faults, stack overflow detection has to be
performed before writing in the stack in exception prologs.

Do it by checking the alignment. If the stack pointer alignment is
wrong, it means it is pointing to the following or preceding page.

Without VMAP stack, a stack overflow is catastrophic. With VMAP
stack, a stack overflow isn't destructive, so don't panic. Kill
the task with SIGSEGV instead.

A dedicated overflow stack is set up for each CPU.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
