That's awesome. I will have a try too.

Missed one place here. Currently the kernel stack is decided by
THREAD_SIZE since the definition:

union thread_union {
struct thread_info thread_info;
unsigned long stack[THREAD_SIZE/sizeof(long)];
};

Should we get the top and bottom of stack according to this now?

Correct me if I was wrong.

Thanks
Baoquan
