This is a fix for commit f6795053da ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high"
userspace addresses") for hugetlb.
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 hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function.
However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.
So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). To allow that, move those two macros out
of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h
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.
For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.
Catalin (ARM64) said
"We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added
support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053da was to
prevent normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default
as some user-space had hard assumptions about this.
It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current
behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.
Basically when arm64 gained support for 52-bit addresses we did not
want user-space calling mmap() to suddenly get such high addresses,
otherwise we could have inadvertently broken some programs (similar
behaviour to x86 here). Hence we added commit f6795053da. But we
missed hugetlbfs which could still get such high mmap() addresses. So
in theory that's a potential regression that should have bee addressed
at the same time as commit f6795053da (and before arm64 enabled
52-bit addresses)"
