stack address randomization

Hi, I am trying to implement stack address randomization, by which i mean the stack (starting) address changes dynamically(by adding some random number) each time the same program is executed. ...

the stack pointer is initialized in the init function, befare main() is called. IIRC it is simply the highest memory pointer in the area reserved for heap.

The stack for each individual threads are specified by the user though the OsTaskCreate() / OsTaskCreateEx() functions. Those are a lot easier to control, so if your application is running from a thread I would start looking there.
