`----
that is computable once again :) (assuming x86, and 1+3 split)
  user:stack-segment-size = ((unsigned long)(0xc0000000 - user:start-stack)) >> PAGE_SHIFT

kind regards

| | Can someone please tell me how to find the end of the stack ?

| `----
| but that should be computable right e.g.
| user:stack-end = user:stack-start + user:stack-segment-size *
