From a5b4592cf77b973c29e7c9695873a26052b58951 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 22:46:05 -0700 Subject: brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower bound Fix a regression introduced by commit 4cc6028d4040f95cdb590a87db478b42b8be0508 Author: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed Feb 6 22:39:44 2008 +0100 brk: check the lower bound properly The check in sys_brk() on minimum value the brk might have must take CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK setting into account. When this option is turned on (i.e. we support ancient legacy binaries, e.g. libc5-linked stuff), the lower bound on brk value is mm->end_code, otherwise the brk start is allowed to be arbitrarily shifted.
