>Description:
sparc -- and only sparc, as far as I have seen -- apparently
fails to enforce RLIMIT_DATA on exec/spawn, which is weird
because the RLIMIT_DATA logic is machine-independent.
The evidence of this is that the kernel/t_signal_and_sp test
case getstack_failedexec_rlimit_data `exited normally but
failed to create the results file', which means that the exec
call unexpectedly _succeeded_ and replaced the atf process
image by another one, confusing atf:
FAILED: Test case exited normally but failed to create the results file: Failed to open /tmp/atf-run.6XWFoY/tcr

Similarly, posix_spawn failed to fail:
*** Check failed: /tmp/build/2026.10.01.07.32.34-sparc/src/tests/kernel/t_signal_and_sp.c:884: Expected true value in (errno = posix_spawn(&pid, argv[0], NULL, NULL, argv, NULL)) != 0

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/tests/kernel
atf-run t_signal_and_sp | atf-report
>Fix:
Yes, please!
Perhaps there is something funny about ELF images on sparc that
makes the machine-independent RLIMIT_DATA check logic not apply
like it does everywhere else?
