ARM: 7641/1: memory: fix broken mmap by ensuring TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is aligned
We have received multiple reports of mmap failures when running with a
2:2 vm split. These manifest as either -EINVAL with a non page-aligned
address (ending 0xaaa) or a SEGV, depending on the application. The
issue is commonly observed in children of make, which appears to use
bottom-up mmap (assumedly because it changes the stack rlimit).
Further investigation reveals that this regression was triggered by
394ef6403abc ("mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on arm architecture"), whereby
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is no longer page-aligned for bottom-up mmap, causing
get_unmapped_area to choke on misaligned addressed.
This patch fixes the problem by defining TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of
TASK_SIZE and explicitly aligns the result to 16M, matching the other
end of the heap.
