Do like most other architectures and provide randomisation also to
"legacy" memory mappings, by adding the random factor to
mm->mmap_base in arch_pick_mmap_layout().
See commit 8b8addf891de ("x86/mm/32: Enable full randomization on
i386 and X86_32") for all explanations and benefits of that mmap
randomisation.
At the moment, slice_find_area_bottomup() doesn't use mm->mmap_base
but uses the fixed TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE instead.
slice_find_area_bottomup() being used as a fallback to
slice_find_area_topdown(), it can't use mm->mmap_base
directly.
Instead of always using TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE as base address, leave
it to the caller. When called from slice_find_area_topdown()
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is used. Otherwise mm->mmap_base is used.

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.
