We've been running into stack overflows in helper threads corrupting memory (e.g. because somebody put printf() or os_info() there), so to avoid those causing hard-to-debug issues later on, allocate a guard page for helper thread stacks and mark it read-only. Unfortunately, the crash dump at that point is useless as the stack tracer will try to backtrace the *kernel* thread, not the helper thread, but at least we don't survive to a random issue caused by corruption.

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.
