> Hi,

> 
> While reviewing JDK-8253717 it was found that comments would help with understanding the StackOverFlow class. Especially the fact that the various _base_ are actually pointing outside their respective zone, since the stack grows downward and a zone (and the stack itself) range is [end, base). If you don't look at this code daily it can be surprising.
> 
> This also fixes some small off-by-one errors in various "in_stack_xxx_zone()" methods which test whether a given address is inside a zone and gave wrong results for address=base since base points outside its zone. This had the effect that an address could be in multiple zones.
> 
> Finally it adds a small gtest which tests the StackOverFlow methods.
