    mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses · f6795053
    Steve Capper authored
    This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are
    optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint
    mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).
    
    Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to
    their architectural versions of arch_get_unmapped_* functions. However,
    on arm64 we use the generic versions of these functions.
    
    Rather than duplicate the generic arch_get_unmapped_* implementations
    for arm64, this patch instead introduces two architectural helper macros
    and applies them to arch_get_unmapped_*:
     arch_get_mmap_end(addr) - get mmap upper limit depending on addr hint
     arch_get_mmap_base(addr, base) - get mmap_base depending on addr hint
    
    If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default
    to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural
    changes to architectures that do not define them.
