Subject[RFC 07/14] fork: use the first page in stack to store vm_stack in cached_stacks
Date
vmap stack are stored in a per-cpu cache_stacks in order to reduce
number of allocations and free calls. However, the stacks ared stored
using the buttom address of the stack. Since stacks normally grow down,
this is a problem with dynamic stacks, as the lower pages might not
even be allocated. Instead of the first available page from vm_area.
