An unintended consequence of commit 9c573cd3 ("randomize_kstack: Improve entropy diffusion") was that the per-architecture entropy size filtering reduced how many bits were being added to the mix, rather than how many bits were being used during the offsetting. All architectures fell back to the existing default of 0x3FF (10 bits), which will consume at most 1KiB of stack space. It seems that this is working just fine, so let's avoid the confusion and update everything to use the default. The prior intent of the per-architecture limits were: arm64: capped at 0x1FF (9 bits), 5 bits effective powerpc: uncapped (10 bits), 6 or 7 bits effective riscv: uncapped (10 bits), 6 bits effective x86: capped at 0xFF (8 bits), 5 (x86_64) or 6 (ia32) bits effective s390: capped at 0xFF (8 bits), undocumented effective entropy Current discussion has led to just dropping the original per-architecture filters. The additional entropy appears to be safe for arm64, x86, and s390. Quoting Arnd, "There is no point pretending that 15.75KB is somehow safe to use while 15.00KB is not."
