https://hardenedbsd.org "Stack Clash Mitigations" posting was dated: 2017-Jun-25
(This is clearly after they had worked on the changes.)

Your -r320674 check in date: 2017-Jul-5

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9700 was earlier and has
for Diff 30173:

"Update the stack guard option to new sysctl behavior": 2017-Jun-28
(The prior diff [26537] does not have the change.)

2017-Jun-28 is shortly after the hardenedbsd.org posting,
not before.

So it was not obvious to me that you might have influenced
hardenedBSD's changes. Sounds more like full independence
to me now.

I do not know if you picked 2MB based on

> Qualys' recommendation to use a minimum of 1MB


or not. (Quoted from hardenedbsd's article.)
