This series fixes the fallback of the top-down mmap: in case of failure, a bottom-up scheme can be tried as a last resort between the top-down mmap base and the stack, hoping for a large unused stack limit.
Lots of architectures and even mm code start this fallback at TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE, which is useless since the top-down scheme already failed on the whole address space: instead, simply use mmap_base.
Along the way, it allows to get rid of of mmap_legacy_base and mmap_compat_legacy_base from mm_struct.
Note that arm and mips already implement this behaviour.
Alexandre Ghiti (8): s390: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base sh: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base sparc: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base x86, hugetlbpage: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base mm: Start fallback top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base parisc: Use mmap_base, not mmap_legacy_base, as low_limit for bottom-up mmap x86: Use mmap_*base, not mmap_*legacy_base, as low_limit for bottom-up mmap mm: Remove mmap_legacy_base and mmap_compat_legacy_code fields from mm_struct
