Subject: x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction
From: Radu Caragea <sinaelgl@xxxxxxxxx>
commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826 upstream.
When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.
