<id>3146bc64d12377a74dbda12b96ea32da3774ae07</id>
<content type='text'>
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for arm64 at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT
for the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which arm64 doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

This patch brings the PER_LINUX32 /proc/cpuinfo format more in line with
the 32-bit ARM one by providing an additional line:

<title>arm64: add support for building vmlinux as a relocatable PIE binary</title>

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, which links the final vmlinux
image with a dynamic relocation section, allowing the early boot code
to perform a relocation to a different virtual address at runtime.

This is a prerequisite for KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE).

<title>mm: fold arch_randomize_brk into ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE</title>

<content type='text'>
The arch_randomize_brk() function is used on several architectures,
even those that don't support ET_DYN ASLR. To avoid bulky extern/#define
tricks, consolidate the support under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for
the architectures that support it, while still handling CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for splitting out ET_DYN ASLR, this refactors the use of
mmap_rnd() to be used similarly to arm and x86.  This additionally
enables mmap ASLR on legacy mmap layouts, which appeared to be missing
on arm64, and was already supported on arm.  Additionally removes a
copy/pasted declaration of an unused function.

<content type='text'>
When user asks to turn off ASLR by writing "0" to
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space there should not be
any randomization to mmap base, stack, VDSO, libs, text and heap

Currently arm64 violates this behavior by randomising text.
Fix this by defining a constant ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. The randomisation of
mm-&gt;mmap_base is done by setup_new_exec -&gt; arch_pick_mmap_layout -&gt;
mmap_base -&gt; mmap_rnd.
