+ * tst-pthread-getattr.c (MAX_STACK_SIZE): New max cap for stack

+ (_MIN): New macro.
+ (allocate_and_test): Return STACKADDR. Access STACKADDR instead

+ (check_stack_top): Read valued written into STACKADDR in

+/* There is an obscure bug in the kernel due to which RLIMIT_STACK is sometimes
+ returned as unlimited when it is not, which may cause this test to fail.
+ There is also the other case where RLIMIT_STACK is intentionally set as
+ unlimited or very high, which may result in a vma that is too large and again
+ results in a test case failure. To avoid these problems, we cap the stack
+ size to one less than 8M. See the following mailing list threads for more
+ information about this problem:
