Based on commit 1091458d09e1a (mmap randomization)

For 32-bit address spaces randomize within a
16MB space, for 64-bit within a 256MB space.


How was it tested (i.e. what workload did you run to verify that the kernel still functions with this change)?

How can you be sure this address doesn't collide with, or otherwise interfere with, the stack?


Also, as mentioned by Sergei, run checkpatch.pl to catch obvious stylistic problems before submitting patches.
