[kernel-hardening] Re: [PATCH v9 1/4] syscalls: Verify address limit before returning to user-mode

overflow into adjacent allocations (fixed by VMAP_STACK).
99% fixed, but it's possible to skip over the guard page without
-fstack-check enabled (plus some edge cases need to be fixed in GCC),

warning.

I'm not sure about in-tree code, but Qualcomm had some of these
improperly bounded VLA vulnerabilities in their MSM kernel...
