[PATCH 4/4] s390: Reduce ELF_ET_DYN_BASE

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jun 22 2017 - 14:07:41 EST


Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region,
position PIE binaries lower in the address space to avoid possible
collisions with mmap or stack regions. For 64-bit, align to 4GB to
allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit
pointers.
