<title>parisc,metag: Fix crashes due to stack randomization on stack-grows-upwards architectures</title>

<id>d045c77c1a69703143a36169c224429c48b9eecd</id>
<content type='text'>
On architectures where the stack grows upwards (CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP=y,
currently parisc and metag only) stack randomization sometimes leads to crashes
when the stack ulimit is set to lower values than STACK_RND_MASK (which is 8 MB
by default if not defined in arch-specific headers).

The problem is, that when the stack vm_area_struct is set up in fs/exec.c, the
additional space needed for the stack randomization (as defined by the value of
STACK_RND_MASK) was not taken into account yet and as such, when the stack
randomization code added a random offset to the stack start, the stack
effectively got smaller than what the user defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK)
which then sometimes leads to out-of-stack situations and crashes.

This patch fixes it by adding the maximum possible amount of memory (based on
STACK_RND_MASK) which theoretically could be added by the stack randomization
code to the initial stack size. That way, the user-defined stack size is always
guaranteed to be at minimum what is defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK).

This bug is currently not visible on the metag architecture, because on metag
STACK_RND_MASK is defined to 0 which effectively disables stack randomization.

The changes to fs/exec.c are inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP"
section, so it does not affect other platformws beside those where the
stack grows upwards (parisc and metag).

<title>parisc: add flexible mmap memory layout support</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

<title>parisc: fix personality on 32bit kernel</title>

Process personality is stored together with other flags like UNAME26 in
an integer variable.  Overwriting this value with PER_LINUX drops all
other existing flags and as such broke tools like the uname26 tool.

Actually this was only broken on 32bit kernels, since for 32bit-ELF
binaries on 64-bit kernels the SET_PERSONALITY macro from
arch/parisc/kernel/binfmt_elf32.c is used which does not modifies the
personality value at all (which is wrong as long as we don't run HPUX
binaries or similiar).

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP.  The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

elf.h probably won't be exported to userspace, but play it safe
and cram it in a #ifdef __KERNEL__ guard.
