ARM: 7169/1: topdown mmap support
Similar to other architectures, this adds topdown mmap support in user process address space allocation policy. This allows mmap sizes greater than 2GB. This support is largely copied from MIPS and the generic implementations. The address space randomization is moved into arch_pick_mmap_layout. Tested on V-Express with ubuntu and a mmap test from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861296 Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
