powerpc: ppc64 address space capped at 32TB, mmap randomisation disabled
Commit fba2369e (mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on powerpc architecture) has a bug in slice_scan_available() where we compare an unsigned long (high_slices) against a shifted int. As a result, comparisons against the top 32 bits of high_slices (representing the top 32TB) always returns 0 and the top of our mmap region is clamped at 32TB This also breaks mmap randomisation since the randomised address is always up near the top of the address space and it gets clamped down to 32TB.
