5-level paging provides a 56-bit virtual address space for user space application. But the kernel defaults to mappings below the 47-bit address space boundary, which is the upper bound for 4-level paging, unless an application explicitely request it by using a mmap(2) address hint above the 47-bit boundary. The kernel prevents mappings which spawn across the 47-bit boundary unless mmap(2) was invoked with MAP_FIXED. Add a self-test that covers the corner cases of the interface and validates the correctness of the implementation. [ tglx: Massaged changelog once more ] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
