get_arg_page() checks bprm->rlim_stack.rlim_cur and re-calculates the "extra" size for argv/envp pointers every time, this is a bit ugly and even not strictly correct: acct_arg_size() must not account this size. Remove all the rlimit code in get_arg_page(). Instead, add bprm->argmin calculated once at the start of __do_execve_file() and change copy_strings to check bprm->p >= bprm->argmin. The patch adds the new helper, prepare_arg_pages() which initializes bprm->argc/envc and bprm->argmin.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
