Commit e7142bf5d2 ("arm64, mm: make randomization selected by
generic topdown mmap layout") introduced a default version of
arch_randomize_brk() provided when
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT is selected.
powerpc could select CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT
but needs to provide its own arch_randomize_brk().
In order to allow that, define generic version of arch_randomize_brk()
as a __weak symbol.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
