--- Comment #5 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to sigsys from comment #3)
These are different stack gaps.  One that is controlled by STKFGAP_DISABLE =
is
at
the bottom of the stacks and prevent stack overflow from stomping on the
nearby mappings.

ASLR stack gap is at top, and it only makes an impression of being useful.
I just added an ELF feature control bit to disable it.

I considered adding procctl(2) but decided that it is not very useful,
ELF flag should be enough.
