Tested with the attached program.
root@test1:~# ./stack_crash 
Stack top:0x7fffcdb605ec mmap:0x7fffcc760000
address:0x7fffcc760ff8 aligned:0x7fffcc760000 mapped:[7fffcc760000,7fffcc761000] diff:-8
[...]

so we faulted on the PROT_NONE while with
#define MAPING_PROT PROT_READ
root@test1:~# ./stack_crash 
Stack top:0x7ffe73dde6fc mmap:0x7ffe729de000
address:0x7ffe72adefd8 aligned:0x7ffe72ade000 mapped:[7ffe729de000,7ffe729df000] diff:1048536
[...]

we failed 1MB ahead of the mapping.
