From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2a97388a807b6ab5538aa8f8537b2463c6988bd2 ] ELF loader uses "randomize_va_space" twice. It is sysctl and can change at any moment, so 2 loads could see 2 different values in theory with unpredictable consequences. Issue exactly one load for consistent value across one exec.
