The comment on the function point the codes below, it support stack grown up and down architecture.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Attach a stack to this thread. If there is a HAL defined macro to
// do this, then we use that, otherwise assume a falling stack.
inline void Cyg_HardwareThread::attach_stack()
{
    .....
#ifdef HAL_THREAD_ATTACH_STACK

    HAL_THREAD_ATTACH_STACK(stack_ptr, stack_base, stack_size);
   
#else

    stack_ptr = stack_base + stack_size;

#endif

    .....
}
