[ Upstream commit 9c85a9bae267f6b5e5e374d0d023bbbe9db096d3 ] Avoid calling mmap with requested addresses that are less than the system's mmap_min_addr. When run as root, mmap returns EACCES when trying to map addresses < mmap_min_addr. This is not one of the error codes for the condition to retry the mmap in the test. Rather than arbitrarily retrying on EACCES, don't attempt an mmap until addr > vm.mmap_min_addr. Add a munmap call after an alignment check as the mappings are retained after the retry and can reach the vm.max_map_count sysctl.

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.
