+Make fiber stack protection-page size configurable
+
+It is now possible to change the guard page size by using
+the new Fiber's constructor argument - guard_page_size. It defaults to
+`PAGE_SIZE` (the same it used to be on Windows), and specifying 0 will
+turn this feature off.

+Add Fiber's stack-protection page for Posix.
+
+The feature already existing for Windows' fiber implementation is now added to
+the systems using mmap to allocate fibers' stacks: After (or before) the last
+page used for the Fiber's stack, the page is allocate which is protected for
+any kind of access. This will cause system to trap immediately on the fiber's
+stack overflow. If in debugger session, one can inspect contents of the memory
+before or after stack pointer and it can be seen if it contains END OF FIBER
+string pattern.
