In case of 5-level paging, the kernel does not place any mapping above
47-bit, unless userspace explicitly asks for it.
Userspace can request an allocation from the full address space by
specifying the mmap address hint above 47-bit.
Nicholas noticed that the current implementation violates this interface:
If user space requests a mapping at the end of the 47-bit address space
with a length which causes the mapping to cross the 47-bit border
(DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW), then the vma is partially in the address space
below and above.
Sanity check the mmap address hint so that start and end of the resulting
vma are on the same side of the 47-bit border. If that's not the case fall
back to the code path which ignores the address hint and allocate from the
regular address space below 47-bit.
[ tglx: Moved the address check to a function and massaged comment and
changelog ]

+ * mmap_address_hint_valid - Validate the address hint of mmap
+ * @addr: Address hint
+ * @len: Mapping length
+ *
+ * Check whether @addr and @addr + @len result in a valid mapping.
+ *
+ * On 32bit this only checks whether @addr + @len is <= TASK_SIZE.
+ *
+ * On 64bit with 5-level page tables another sanity check is required
+ * because mappings requested by mmap(@addr, 0) which cross the 47-bit
+ * virtual address boundary can cause the following theoretical issue:
+ *
+ * An application calls mmap(addr, 0), i.e. without MAP_FIXED, where @addr
+ * is below the border of the 47-bit address space and @addr + @len is
+ * above the border.
+ *
+ * With 4-level paging this request succeeds, but the resulting mapping
+ * address will always be within the 47-bit virtual address space, because
+ * the hint address does not result in a valid mapping and is
+ * ignored. Hence applications which are not prepared to handle virtual
+ * addresses above 47-bit work correctly.
+ *
+ * With 5-level paging this request would be granted and result in a
+ * mapping which crosses the border of the 47-bit virtual address
+ * space. If the application cannot handle addresses above 47-bit this
+ * will lead to misbehaviour and hard to diagnose failures.
+ *
+ * Therefore ignore address hints which would result in a mapping crossing
+ * the 47-bit virtual address boundary.
+ *
+ * Note, that in the same scenario with MAP_FIXED the behaviour is
+ * different. The request with @addr < 47-bit and @addr + @len > 47-bit
+ * fails on a 4-level paging machine but succeeds on a 5-level paging
+ * machine. It is reasonable to expect that an application does not rely on
+ * the failure of such a fixed mapping request, so the restriction is not
+ * applied.
