Description

The stack-clash advisory for Qualys cited Solaris as a potential target for the exploit. In a 64-bit address space, we do indeed map in ld.so almost immediately after the stack segment. A much larger guard segment of some time would be nice to serve as a mitigation.

Upstreaming the work from SmartOS OS-6323 (and the related OS-6564)
