In stackleak_task_init(), stackleak_track_stack(), and __stackleak_erase(), we open-code skipping the STACK_END_MAGIC at the bottom of the stack. Each case is implemented slightly differently, and only the __stackleak_erase() case is commented. In stackleak_task_init() and stackleak_track_stack() we unconditionally add sizeof(unsigned long) to the lowest stack address. In stackleak_task_init() we use end_of_stack() for this, and in stackleak_track_stack() we use task_stack_page(). In __stackleak_erase() we handle this by detecting if `kstack_ptr` has hit the stack end boundary, and if so, conditionally moving it above the magic. This patch adds a new stackleak_task_low_bound() helper which is used in all three cases, which unconditionally adds sizeof(unsigned long) to the lowest address on the task stack, with commentary as to why. This uses end_of_stack() as stackleak_task_init() did prior to this patch, as this is consistent with the code in kernel/fork.c which initializes the STACK_END_MAGIC value. In __stackleak_erase() we no longer need to check whether we've spilled into the STACK_END_MAGIC value, as stackleak_track_stack() ensures that `current->lowest_stack` stops immediately above this, and similarly the poison scan will stop immediately above this. For stackleak_task_init() and stackleak_track_stack() this results in no change to code generation. For __stackleak_erase() the generated assembly is slightly simpler and shorter.

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.
