James Bottomley d1cabd6326 [PATCH] fix process crash caused by randomisation and 64k pages 
This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above.  The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages.  On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.

The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger.  If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.

The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does.  However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.

The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.
