ab832422673d1774c4ce3941f2ac87743d73bded mm: fix missing page table
unmap for stack guard page failure case
7e281afe24330aeea86113ac241eabdac8ba2311 mm: keep a guard page below a
grow-down stack segment
resolves the save/restore issue for me.
However cherry-picking the 2.6.32.20 fixes
11ac552477e32835cb6970bf0a70c210807f5673 mm: fix page table unmap for
stack guard page properly
d7824370e26325c881b665350ce64fb0a4fde24a mm: fix up some user-visible
effects of the stack guard page
does not do the trick.
