First of all, using addr and MAP_FIXED to develop our heuristic can

good example that steadily keeps incrementing address, so depending
on malloc usage and address space randomization, you will get a brk()
that ends exactly at 128T, then the next one will be >
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW, and it will switch you to 56 bit address space.

No, it won't. You will hit stack first.

That's not actually true on POWER in some cases.  See the process maps I
posted here:

Hm? I see that in all three cases the [stack] is the last mapping.
Do I miss something?

Hah, I had not noticed. Occasionally, the order of heap and stack is reversed. This happens in approximately 15% of the runs.

See the attached example.

Thanks,
