3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
