[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Fix address space layout randomization (ASLR)

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Aug 08 2018 - 09:18:38 EST


Today, when stack size is set to unlimited (ulimit -s unlimited),
mmap() doesn't randomise the stack address returned by mmap()

This patch fixes it by applying the random factor on
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE when setting mm->mmap_base
