Kernel assumes that ELF program headers are ordered by mapping address, but doesn't enforce it. It is possible to make mapping size extremely huge by simply shuffling first and last PT_LOAD segments. As long as PT_LOAD segments do not overlap, it is silly to require sorting by v_addr anyway because mmap() doesn't care. Don't assume PT_LOAD segments are sorted and calculate min and max addresses correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
