[PATCH 7/7] x86, kaslr: raise max positions to 1GiB on x86_64

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Oct 01 2013 - 15:39:41 EST


On 64-bit, this raises the maximum location to 1GiB, the upper limit
currently, since the kernel fixmap page mappings need to be moved to
use the other 1GiB (which would be the theoretical limit when building
with -mcmodel=kernel).
