[PATCH] arm64/kernel/entry: refine comment of stack overflow check
From: Heyi Guo
Date: Mon Dec 02 2019 - 06:38:33 EST
Stack overflow checking can be done by testing
sp & (1 << THREAD_SHIFT)
only for the stacks are aligned to (2 << THREAD_SHIFT) with size of
(1 << THREAD_SIZE), and this is the case when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is
set.
Fix the code comment to avoid confusion.
