Dmitry Safonov 3e6ef9c809 x86/mm: Make mmap(MAP_32BIT) work correctly
mmap(MAP_32BIT) is broken due to the dependency on the TIF_ADDR32 thread
flag.

For 64bit applications MAP_32BIT will force legacy bottom-up allocations and
the 1GB address space restriction even if the application issued a compat
syscall, which should not be subject of these restrictions.

For 32bit applications, which issue 64bit syscalls the newly introduced
mmap base separation into 64-bit and compat bases changed the behaviour
because now a 64-bit mapping is returned, but due to the TIF_ADDR32
dependency MAP_32BIT is ignored. Before the separation a 32-bit mapping was
returned, so the MAP_32BIT handling was irrelevant.

Replace the check for TIF_ADDR32 with a check for the compat syscall. That
solves both the 64-bit issuing a compat syscall and the 32-bit issuing a
64-bit syscall problems.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
