3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ba093a6d9397da8eafcfbaa7d95bd34255da39a0 upstream. The vm_brk() alignment calculations should refuse to overflow. The ELF loader depending on this, but it has been fixed now. No other unsafe callers have been found.
