Subject[PATCH 1/2] mmap: arch_get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom up direction
Date
This is more or less the generic variant of 41aacc1eea "x86 get_unmapped_area:
Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member".

So effectively architectures which use an own arch_pick_mmap_layout()
implementation but call the generic arch_get_unmapped_area() now can also
randomize their mmap_base.

All architectures which have an own arch_pick_mmap_layout() and call
the generic arch_get_unmapped_area() (arm64, s390, tile) currently set
mmap_base to TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE. This is also true for the generic
arch_pick_mmap_layout() function. So this change is a no-op currently.
