pa_maxssiz(5)

(Tunable Kernel Parameters)

When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?

This tunable should only be lowered if the workload for the PA-RISC emulator is known on the system,

more space than is needed is currently used for stack emulation, and swap space (either reserved or allo-

cated) is at a premium on the system.

What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?

Lowering this tunable will decrease the available stack space for emulated PA-RISC binary executions.

Emulated processes needing larger stacks will fail stack growth requests (just as lowering

maxssiz or

maxssiz_64bit

may cause process termination due to failure to grow stack).

What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?

None.

WARNINGS

All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release speciﬁc. This parameter may be removed or have its

meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX.
