We wish to introduce a 52-bit virtual address space for userspace but maintain compatibility with software that assumes the maximum VA space size is 48 bit. In order to achieve this, on 52-bit VA systems, we make mmap behave as if it were running on a 48-bit VA system (unless userspace explicitly requests a VA where addr[51:48] != 0). On a system running a 52-bit userspace we need TASK_SIZE to represent the 52-bit limit as it is used in various places to distinguish between kernelspace and userspace addresses. Thus we need a new limit for mmap, stack, ELF loader and EFI (which uses TTBR0) to represent the non-extended VA space. This patch introduces DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW and DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_64 and switches the appropriate logic to use that instead of TASK_SIZE.

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.
