The relevant kernel code is in schedule_tail(), which is called in ret_from_fork() in the child. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203105 execve.2 Michael Kerrisk Note that stack+environ size is also limited to 3/4 of _STK_LIM In fs/exec.c::prepare_arg_pages(), we have: limit = _STK_LIM / 4 * 3; limit = min(limit, bprm->rlim_stack.rlim_cur / 4); -- Michael Kerrisk Linux man-pages maintainer; http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ Linux/UNIX System Programming Training: http://man7.org/training/
