[PATCH 3/6] x86/mmap: properly account for stack randomization in mmap_base

From: riel
Date: Fri Jun 02 2017 - 11:21:10 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

When RLIMIT_STACK is, for example, 256MB, the current code results in
a gap between the top of the task and mmap_base of 256MB, failing to
take into account the amount by which the stack address was randomized.
In other words, the stack gets less than RLIMIT_STACK space.

Ensure that the gap between the stack and mmap_base always takes stack
randomization into account.
