This is still not quite right. 'probe-stack' is not needed (and doesn't do anything); llvm automatically generates stack probes on windows. |

The test needs to be ignored / stubbed out on non-Windows platforms. An alternative is having a test of |

This is the bare minimum to stop using split stacks on Windows, fixing #13259 and #14742, by turning on stack probes for all functions and disabling compiler and runtime support for split stacks on Windows. It does not restore the out-of-stack error message, which requires more runtime work. This includes a test that the Windows TCB is no longer being clobbered, but the out-of-stack test itself is pretty weak, only testing that the program exits abnormally, not that it isn't writing to bogus memory, so I haven't truly verified that this is providing the safety we claim. A more complete solution is in #16388, which has some unresolved issues yet. cc @Zoxc @klutzy @vadimcn
