Yes. You are right.

You are in a maze of little undocumented source files....

I think I have got a basic understanding.

Per Process, there is ONE stack allocated (by the binformat loader).
The top page of this stack is used by the kernel. The structure of this
area is defined in asm-offsets.c/s. The lower part of the stack is used 
as user stack. That's all.
