Huacai Chen c4d262c26e MIPS: VDSO: Reduce VDSO_RANDOMIZE_SIZE to 64MB for 64bit
[ Upstream commit c61c7def1f ]

Commit ea7e0480a4 ("MIPS: VDSO: Always map near top of user memory")
set VDSO_RANDOMIZE_SIZE to 256MB for 64bit kernel. But take a look at
arch/mips/mm/mmap.c we can see that MIN_GAP is 128MB, which means the
mmap_base may be at (user_address_top - 128MB). This make the stack be
surrounded by mmaped areas, then stack expanding fails and causes a
segmentation fault. Therefore, VDSO_RANDOMIZE_SIZE should be less than
MIN_GAP and this patch reduce it to 64MB.

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.
