At this momet, logic in arch_get_unmapped_area{,_topdown} for mmaps with
MAP_32BIT flag checks TIF_ADDR32 which means:

mmap() with MAP_32BIT it'll result in addr over 4Gb (as default is
top-down allocation)
o if 64-bit ELF changes mode to 32-bit and tries mmap() with MAP_32BIT,
it'll allocate only memory in 1GB space: [0x40000000, 0x80000000).
Fix it by handeling MAP_32BIT in 64-bit syscalls only.
I really have a hard time to understand what is fixed and how that is
related to the $subject.
Again. Please explain the problem first properly so one can understand
the
issue immediately.
Ok, rewrote the changes log.
As a little bonus it'll make thread flag a little less used.
I really do not understand the bonus part here. You replace the thread
flag
check with a different one and AFAICT this looks like oart of the 'fix'.
It's a part of the fix, right.
What I meant here is that after those patches TIF_ADDR32 is no more
used after exec() time. That's bonus as if we manage to change exec()
code in some way (i.e., pass address restriction as a parameter), we'll
have additional free thread info flag.
Oh, I lied here: it'll be still used for TASK_SIZE macro and etc.
But, I don't see why in generic code we can't use TASK_SIZE_MAX,
at least at this moment.
Thanks,
