In commit: eab09532d4 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE") ... PIE programs are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, and its map has been set as MAP_FIXED. Only dynamic loader will be mapped from below mm->mmap_base (E.g "./ld.so someprog"), and need take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire loader image to avoid the case that the first PT_LOAD segment is mapped below mm->mmap_base, the subsequent PT_LOAD segment(s) end up being mapped above mm->mmap_base into the area that is supposed to be the "gap" between the stack and mm->mmap_base. Whether it's harmless or not, we should not allow program to map above mm->mmap_base. So here change to get the total_size only for dynamic loader in load_elf_binary().
