------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org Subject: exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()

While the defense-in-depth RLIMIT_STACK limit on setuid processes was protected against races from other threads calling setrlimit(), I missed protecting it against races from external processes calling prlimit(). This adds locking around the change and makes sure that rlim_max is set too.
