2009-09-10x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stackMichal Hocko
Currently we are not including randomized stack size when calculating mmap_base address in arch_pick_mmap_layout for topdown case. This might cause that mmap_base starts in the stack reserved area because stack is randomized by 1GB for 64b (8MB for 32b) and the minimum gap is 128MB. If the stack really grows down to mmap_base then we can get silent mmap region overwrite by the stack values. Let's include maximum stack randomization size into MIN_GAP which is used as the low bound for the gap in mmap.

2008-01-30x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.cHarvey Harrison
mmap_is_ia32 always true for X86_32, or while emulating IA32 on X86_64 Randomization not supported on X86_32 in legacy layout. Both layouts allow randomization on X86_64.
