MPU Stack Guard Test
####################
Overview
********
This is a simple application that demonstrates basic thread stack guarding on
the supported platforms.
A thread spawned by the main task recursively calls a function that fills the
thread stack up to where it overwrites a preposed canary.
If the MPU is enabled and the Stack Guard feature is present the test succeeds
because an MEM Faults exception prevents the canary from being overwritten.
If the MPU is disabled the test fails because the canary is overwritten.
Building and Running
********************
This project outputs to the console.
To build the test with the MPU disabled:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd samples/mpu_stack_guard_test
$ make
To build the test with the MPU enabled and the stack guard feature present:
.. code-block:: console
$ cd samples/mpu_stack_guard_test
$ make CONF_FILE=prj_stack_guard.conf
