    x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stack · 80938332
    Michal Hocko authored
    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.
