commit 32a932332c8bad842804842eaf9651ad6268e637 Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Date: Wed Feb 6 22:39:44 2008 +0100
brk randomization: introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK based on similar patch from: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK. If disabled then the kernel is free (but not obliged to) randomize the brk area. Heap randomization breaks ancient binaries, so we keep COMPAT_BRK enabled by default.
