3.6.11.9-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Radu Caragea <sinaelgl@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826 ]
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.
